The Hindu Times reported that, on April 13, there were 4 earthquakes that took place in Asia, concentrated in areas of India, Myanmar and Tajikistan. The earthquakes shook a series of towns in the Himalayas to Central Asian cities, causing residents to panic.
According to the Indian National seismic Center (NCS), the first earthquake occurred in Mandi District, Himachal Pradesh (India), at 9am (local time) with a size of 3.4 degrees and concussion at a depth of 5 km.
Despite being considered lightweight, vibration is still strong enough for people to feel clearly. Many people said they heard a slight sound before the ground shook suddenly. Local media reported that people were frantically running out of buildings and offices, but there was no report on casualties or property damage.
The US Geological Survey (USGS) said, shortly after that, an earthquake of 5.5 degrees appeared near Meiktila, Central Myanmar. The vibration can feel the most clearly in the city of Mandalay and Naypyitaw - places still suffering from the 7.7 -degree earthquake, killing more than 3,600 people and thousands of people injured last month.
There have not been new casualties have been recorded, but some people have said that their home has appeared some cracks. This made the people in Myanmar more insecure in the context of the country still not all painful from the earthquake disaster on March 28.
On the same day, Tajikistan suffered 2 earthquakes. The first earthquake was 6.1 degrees strong, with the concussion at a depth of 10 km, taking place at 9:54 (local time).
Less than an hour later, another earthquake of 3.9 continued to occur in the same region, also at a depth of 10 km, raising concerns about increased seismic activities in this Central Asian country.
