The earthquake occurred at 9:26 am. The depth of the earthquake was 5 kilometers underground.

“An earthquake measuring 3.4 on the Richter scale occurred 81 kilometers northwest of Kolhapur, Maharashtra at around 9:26 am. The depth of the earthquake was 5 kilometers underground,” the NCS wrote on Twitter.

India this week felt an earthquake three times, especially in the north. Nepal felt a magnitude 6.3 earthquake on November 10 and a magnitude 4.1 earthquake on November 9.
