A 3.8-magnitude shallow earthquake hit Bhutan on January 7, 2026, in a high-risk seismic zone.
A 3.8 magnitude earthquake struck Bhutan on January 7, 2026, at 3:17 AM IST, with a shallow depth of 10 kilometers near 27.27°N, 91.70°E.
The quake occurred in a seismically active Himalayan region classified as high-risk, with Bhutan in seismic zones IV and V. Though the tremor caused only minor shaking in Thimphu, shallow quakes can produce stronger ground motion.
The country faces ongoing threats from earthquakes, landslides, flash floods, wildfires, and glacial lake outburst floods, exacerbated by climate change.
Experts stress the need for earthquake-resistant buildings and regional cooperation in disaster preparedness.
