A mild earthquake measuring 4.3 struck Nepal’s western Gorkha district on Sunday, however no casualty or loss of property was reported, officials said.
The epicentre of the tremor, which occurred at 4.09 AM (03.54 IST), was located at Manabu village in the district, 145 km northwest of Kathmandu, according to the National Seismological Centre of Nepal.
The tremor was felt in parts of the Kathmandu Valley. However, no causality or damage was reported.
