Earthquake strikes Delhi, NCR, no damage reported

A minor earthquake rattled New Delhi and adjoining areas early on Monday morning, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.

An official with the Indian Meteorological Department, which monitors earthquakes, said the 4.3-magnitude quake was only felt in New Delhi and the surrounding areas. It struck at about 4:43 a.m.

The epicenter of the tremor was at the Delhi-Haryana border at 28.6 N latitude and 77.9 E longitude.

In October 2006, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir, which is claimed by both India and Pakistan. That quake killed some 80,000 people. Most of the deaths were in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir.
