As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 14km, making it susceptible to aftershocks. Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth`s surface, causing stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes
