4.1-Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Assam’s Goalpara Region on September 8, 2026
A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck Assam's Goalpara region at 9:57 am IST on September 8, 2026, with a shallow depth of 10 kilometres, according to India's National Centre for Seismology. Assam lies in a seismically active zone due to the Indian Plate's ongoing collision with Asia, causing stress accumulation and sudden rock slips along faults. Scientists emphasize that such earthquakes do not predict larger quakes and caution against unverified forecasts that may cause panic.
