We expect it as an aftershock with epicenter in Sindhupalchowk. Following the shaking intensity, the magnitude would be around 5.2. Official data yet to come.
Tremor was strongly felt in Sindhupalchowk, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Kathmandu and neighbouring districts of Nepal. People from Pokhara are also reporting the tremor.
