An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 on the Richter scale struck Upper Siang, in Arunachal Pradesh, on Tuesday early morning, a statement by the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said.

As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10km.

"EQ of M: 3.6, On: 18/11/2025 02:07:03 IST, Lat: 28.85 N, Long: 95.24 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Upper Siang, Arunachal Pradesh," NCS posted on X.

Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage to structures, as well as greater casualties.
