Powerful Quake Shakes Nicobar Islands

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake rocked India's Nicobar Islands on Tuesday, according to the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ). The tremor was reported at a depth of 10 kilometers, sparking alarm in the earthquake-prone area.

Seismologists have noted the area's history of geological activity and are closely monitoring the situation for potential aftershocks or further seismic activity. The region has previously experienced significant earthquakes, contributing to heightened anxiety among residents and authorities.

No immediate reports of casualties or damage have emerged; however, local officials remain vigilant. The earthquake has once again highlighted the need for comprehensive safety measures and preparedness in vulnerable regions along tectonic plate boundaries.
