A low-intensity earthquake of magnitude 3.9 on the Richter scale hit Kashmir on Tuesday, June 9. The quake occurred in the Kashmir Valley at around 8.15 am.
The epicentre of the earthquake was located 14 Kilometres north of Srinagar city. The co-ordinates of the earthquake are latitude 34.21 degrees north and longitude 74.85 degrees east.
