An earthquake measuring 3.4 on Richter scale hit parts of Kutch district in Gujarat Tuesday, an official said.
No casualty or damage to property was reported in the mild-intensity quake, the official said.
The epicentre of the quake was recorded 13 kms north north-west (NNW) from Bhachau in Kutch district, the official of the Institute of Seismological Research (ISR) said.
