A mild earthquake with a magnitude of 3.4 struck the northern district of Thakurgaon on Sunday morning (January 25). The tremor occurred at 8:34 AM, centered approximately 33 kilometers east of the district headquarters.

According to Volcano Discovery, a website tracking seismic activity and volcanic eruptions, the exact depth of the quake has not yet been determined, though it is suspected to have been a shallow tremor.

While the site noted that many people in the region likely did not notice the event, local reports suggest otherwise.

Resident Reactions
Despite reports that the tremor went largely unnoticed, many residents of Thakurgaon took to social media to share their experiences. Numerous Facebook users reported feeling a distinct jolt, with some describing the shaking as surprisingly "strong."
