Up to now, no reports of injuries or serious damage have been made. Still, the abrupt shakings induced terror among citizens, who scurried out of their structures for fear. Governments put emergency teams on stand-by and closely tracked developments.
This seismic movement highlights the vulnerability of the Himalayas, which suffer from repeated earthquakes owing to being along a huge tectonic fault line.
