The first earthquake, with a magnitude of 4.6, occurred at 2:25 pm, followed by a more powerful 6.2 magnitude quake at 2:51 pm, both at a depth of 5 km. The National Centre for Seismology reported the second earthquake’s details: “Magnitude: 6.2, Date: 03-10-2023, Time: 14:51:04 IST, Location: Nepal (Lat: 29.39, Long: 81.23), Depth: 5 Km.”
