# 4.3 magnitude earthquake damages homes, temple in Nashik district 2026-08-10T04:51:55+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A 4.3-magnitude earthquake, the strongest in Nashik in 40 years, damaged at least five houses and partially collapsed a temple wall in Nashik district late Saturday night. The National Centre for Seismology recorded the tremor after 10 pm, followed by a 3.3-magnitude aftershock at 5.33 am on Sunday. No casualties or injuries were reported, district collector Ayush Prasad said. Nashik has recorded 64 mild tremors since July, ranging from 1.6 to 4.3 on the Richter scale, with three in the last 24 hours, the Free Press Journal reports. Experts say a 30-km-long fault zone beneath the tribal belt is releasing underground stress through these quakes and advise monitoring, not panic. The district administration has launched awareness drives and mock drills in schools. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - freepressjournal.in Tags: 4.3 magnitude, building norms, district collector, Nashik earthquake, seismic zone III, tremor Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/4-3-magnitude-quake-hits-nashik-cracks-in-homes-temple-wall/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
