4.9 magnitude earthquake jolts Nepal; no casualties reported so far
A 4.9-magnitude earthquake today jolted western Nepal, causing panic among the residents. According to National Seismological Centre, the quake that hit Bajura district situated in far-west Nepal was 4.9-magnitude with its epicenter at a forest area on the border of Bajura and Humla districts. This, however, is not an aftershock of 2015 earthquake but a fresh tremor said an official at the center.
