Several minor tremors rattled quake-hit Nepal today though there were no casualties, the National Seismological Centre (NSC) said.

The country recorded a 4.6-magnitude quake with the epicentre in Sindhupalchowk district at 9.55 am.

Six other quakes below 5 on the Richter scale were recorded with their epicentres in Dolakha, Gorkha and Nuwakot districts.

Another equally strong tremor was felt at 5.25 pm local time, according to officials. However, there were no injuries or destruction reported from the quakes.

Officials predict that the aftershocks may continue for more than a month.
