A 6.1-magnitude earthquake strikes India

The area has 1.2 million inhabitants

Newsroom April 24 12:42

A 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck Arunachal Pradesh in India early Wednesday, the US Geological Survey said.
The epicentre of the shallow earthquake was about 40 kilometres (25 miles) southeast of Along, and 180 kilometres southwest of the state capital Itanagar.

It struck at 1:45 am.

Arunachal Pradesh is the least densely populated state, but is still home to more than 1.2 million people, according to the state government’s website.
