According to Nepal Seismological Center, the epicenter was located in Sindhupalchowk with magnitude 4.6. It is an aftershock of April 25 Gorkha earthquake.

The epicenter was located near Syaule Bazar at a shallow depth of 10 km.

"I was watching a program in my laptop when tremor was felt. It was short and quick, enough me to get ready to go out the house. Then, it stopped," Bivek Bhattarai, a teacher from Baneshwor reported.

No preliminary damage or injuries have been reported.

Five days ago, a strong aftershock of magnitude 5.5 rattled the same area. More than 60 people were injured.

Atleast 430 aftershocks of magnitude 4 and greater have rattled Nepal since the Gorkha earthquake last year.
