On the evening of May 27, 2025, (which was the early morning of May 28 in India), a quake of 5.2 on the Richter scale hit the Churachandpur district of Manipur, India. The area around Moirang, about 39 kilometers southwest of Imphal and 46 kilometers below the surface, was where the quake originated.

The shaking was felt in many places in the northeast, in Meghalaya and Assam. In these places, people reported they felt the ground gently shake, so many exited buildings just to be safe. No immediate reports of harm to people or major damage to buildings have come from the earthquake.
GDACS gave a “Green” warning which means very little impact to people is expected.

- Pack some first-aid amenities, water and any medicine you may need in your emergency kit.
The centre is still watching for seismic events in the region and will release updates at the right times.
