# 4.0 magnitude earthquake hits Assam’s Kamrup district 2026-11-14T11:41:40+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets Outlets counted: aninews.in, pratidintime.com, thehindu.com, timesofindia.indiatimes.com An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 on the Richter scale struck Assam's Kamrup district on Saturday, 14 November 2026, the National Centre for Seismology (NCS) said. The quake occurred at 2:43:05 pm IST at a depth of 10 km, with its epicentre at latitude 25.749 N and longitude 91.273 E, the NCS reported on X. The Times of India, ANI, Pratidin Time and The Hindu all reported the same details from the NCS. Tremors were felt in Guwahati and parts of Meghalaya, Pratidin Time reported. None of the four sources reported any casualties or damage to property. The NCS noted that the northeastern region falls in a high seismic zone, making earthquakes frequent there, as The Hindu and Pratidin Time added. Further details are awaited. Update, 14 November 2026: The Hindu, publishing at 5:17 pm on 14 November 2026, added no new facts beyond confirming the NCS data and noting the region's high seismic zone. It reported no damage or casualties, matching the earlier accounts from The Times of India, ANI and Pratidin Time. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All four outlets, The Times of India, ANI, Pratidin Time and The Hindu, carried near-identical wire-style reports of the NCS data, with no discernible editorial slant. The Hindu and Pratidin Time both noted the region's high seismic zone, while the others omitted that context. No source reported damage or casualties, and none quoted officials beyond the NCS post. The uniform framing across outlets suggests a straightforward, low-impact event with no competing accounts to reconcile. ## Coverage Coverage: 4 sources, 4 neutral - timesofindia.indiatimes.com (neutral report) Straight NCS data, no damage or casualties reported - aninews.in (neutral report) NCS data plus historical Meghalaya quake reference - pratidintime.com (neutral report) NCS data, adds tremors in Guwahati and Meghalaya - thehindu.com (neutral report) NCS data, mentions high seismic zone context This brief was synthesised by AI from the 4 sources linked above, so one read covers every framing they carry.
