A 4.6 magnitude earthquake struck the Bay of Bengal on June 2, 2026, at 07:43:17 am IST, as reported by the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). The earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers, with its epicenter located at latitude 14.027 N and longitude 93.132 E. This event follows a previous earthquake in the same region, which registered a magnitude of 4.3 on February 11, 2026, also at a depth of 10 kilometers. Earthquakes can occur at varying depths, categorized into shallow (0-70 km), intermediate (70-300 km), and deep (300-700 km) according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Shallow earthquakes are typically more felt on the surface due to their proximity. The NCS continues to monitor seismic activities in the region and provides updates as necessary.
