An earthquake of magnitude 3.3 struck Tibet on Tuesday, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said.

As per the NCS, the earthquake struck at a shallow depth of 10km, making it susceptible to aftershocks.

In a post on X, the NCS said, “EQ of M: 3.3, On: 30/09/2025 04:28:36 IST, Lat: 30.19 N, Long: 95.23 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Tibet.”

The Tibetan Plateau is known for its seismic activity due to tectonic plate collisions.
