In the early hours of Friday, February 28, 2025, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal's Bagmati Province at approximately 2:36 AM. The epicenter was located about 189 km north of Muzaffarpur, Bihar. Tremors were felt across parts of Bihar, including Patna, as well as in Siliguri, West Bengal. Residents reported being awakened by the shaking, with some observing moving ceiling fans and swaying buildings. Despite the intensity, there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties. Nepal, situated in a seismically active zone, frequently experiences such tectonic activities due to the ongoing collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates.
