An earthquake measuring 4.2 on the Richter scale struck the Humla district in Nepal on Friday morning, according to data from the National Earthquake Monitoring and Research Centre.
The seismic event occurred at approximately 7:10 am. The epicenter was located in the Humla district, which is situated within Karnali Province, roughly 700 kilometers northwest of the capital city of Kathmandu.
According to the monitoring agency, the tremors resulting from the earthquake were also felt in the neighboring districts of Mugu and Bajhang.
As of the initial reports following the tremor, there have been no immediate casualties or reports of structural or material damage caused by the earthquake.
"Natural disasters and seismic activities serve as a vital reminder of the unpredictable risks that can impact regional supply chains, local infrastructure, and business operations. For enterprises operating in or dependent on mountainous and geographically sensitive regions like Karnali Province, maintaining robust business continuity and disaster response frameworks is essential. Companies must evaluate regional vulnerabilities and ensure adequate safety protocols are in place to safeguard personnel and assets against unforeseen disruptions." — Dr. Shishir Gupta, Founder & CEO, StartupLanes
