A 4.1-magnitude earthquake struck Nepal’s remote mountainous Darchula district on Sunday, officials said.
The tremor, with its epicentre at Tapovan in Darchula district, was recorded at 11:55 am, according to the Earthquake Monitoring and Research Centre.

Nepal, which records frequent earthquakes every year, is located in one of the world’s most active tectonic regions, falling under Seismic Zones IV and V. This makes the country highly vulnerable to seismic activity.
The Himalayan nation is ranked as the 11th most earthquake-prone country in the world.
