Two back-to-back tremors of about 3.4 magnitude hit Palghar district in Maharashtra within an hour, according to reports.
Outlets describe the quakes as occurring at shallow depth, which can increase the likelihood of local shaking. Local authorities monitor the situation and advise residents to remain calm. While coverage focuses on the timing and the magnitude of the tremors, both accounts align that the earthquakes happen close together and are shallow, prompting on-the-ground attention from officials.
