Key Points:

4.2 Magnitude Earthquake hits north Kashmir.

Epicenter located in Baramulla, depth of 5 km.

No loss of life or property damage reported.

Jammu and Kashmir is in seismic Zone-IV and V, prone to earthquakes.

Reference to the 2005 earthquake in Muzaffarabad, which caused significant casualties and destruction.

An earthquake of 4.2 magnitude on the Richter scale struck parts of north Kashmir, with its epicenter located in Baramulla at a depth of 5 km, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). Despite the seismic activity in a region categorized as Zone-IV and V for earthquake vulnerability, there have been no immediate reports of casualties or damage to property. Jammu and Kashmir's susceptibility to natural disasters, particularly earthquakes, underscores the region's preparedness for such events.

This event brings to mind the devastating earthquake in 2005, which struck Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, claiming the lives of at least 79,000 people and causing widespread building collapses. As the situation develops, authorities will continue monitoring for any aftershocks or potential impacts on local communities.
