As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 14km, making it susceptible to aftershocks. Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface, causing stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes
