On Sunday morning, Nepal experienced a seismic event with a magnitude of 6.1, as reported by the National Seismological Centre of Nepal. The earthquake's epicenter was pinpointed in Dhading, situated about 55 kilometers west of the capital city, Kathmandu. Notably, the earthquake's depth was measured at 13 kilometers, according to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre.
