An earthquake of magnitude 2.5 struck New Delhi around 9.30 pm on Tuesday. The earthquake occurred 8 km west of New Delhi. The depth of the earthquake was 5 km below the ground, the National Center for Seismology said.

In Indonesia, an earthquake of magnitude 6 or 7 are relatively common but this lower-magnitude quake had a devastating effect as it struck on land at a relatively shallow depth.
