Earthquake in Nepal
A magnitude 6.4M earthquake struck Karnali Province in western Nepal at around 11.47 p.m. local time (UTC 6.02 p.m.) on 3 November 2023, with several aftershocks occurring.
The epicentre was in Ramidanda in Jajarkot District, some 65 kilometres northeast of Surkhet, the capital city of Karnali Province. Tremors have been felt in the adjacent Sudurpashchim and Lumbini provinces as well as other parts of Nepal, and reportedly as far away as Delhi, India.
Initial information indicates that some 133 people were killed across Karnali Province, including reportedly 95 people in Jajarkot and 38 people in Western Rukum. Several hundred more people have reportedly been injured.
Another magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck Nepal on Monday 6 November 2023 followed by another slightly weaker tremor, injuring more people, just three days after the first one, the country's worst quake since 2015.
Security forces have been deployed to help rescue efforts.
