An aftershock measuring 4.1 magnitude was recorded in Nepal today, nearly seven weeks after the Himalayan nation was jolted by one of the worst earthquakes that killed over 9,000 people.
The epicentre of the tremor is located at Dhading district, 50 km west of Kathmandu, according to the National Seismological Centre.
So far 327 aftershocks with 4 or more magnitude have been recorded after the April 25 earthquake.
Normalcy is slowly returning to Nepal five weeks after two deadly earthquakes struck the country, leaving nearly 9,000 people dead and injuring over 21,000.
