SRINAGAR: Strong earthquake tremors were felt across several parts of the Kashmir Valley on Monday, triggering brief panic among residents.
According to preliminary reports, the tremors were felt at around 2 a.m. across multiple districts of Jammu and Kashmir, prompting residents to rush out of their homes and buildings as a precaution. There were, however, no immediate reports of any casualties or damage to property.
Kashmir lies in a highly active seismic zone, and such tremors are periodically felt due to tectonic movements in the Himalayan region.
Further details regarding magnitude and epicentre are awaited from official seismic agencies.
