Kathmandu: Jumla in western Nepal was hit by a mild earthquake early Thursday morning, officials said here.
The earthquake was also felt in neighbouring Kalikot and Mugu districts, all in Karnali province of the Himalayan nation.
The earthquake of magnitude 4.1 was recorded at 5.36 am with its epicentre located at Tamti in Jumla district, about 700 kilometres west of Kathmandu, according to the Nepal Earthquake Research and Monitoring Centre (NERMC).
However, there was no immediate report of any damage caused by the tremor, officials said.
Earlier on June 21, an earthquake of similar (4.1) magnitude had occurred in Shrinagar of Humla district in the western province.
Nepal, which experiences multiple quakes in any given year, lies in one of the most active tectonic zones (Seismic zones IV and V), which makes the Himalayan nation extremely vulnerable to earthquakes.
