Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox earthquake A moment magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck Doti District, Sudurpashchim Province, Nepal on 9 November 2022.[1] The earthquake was widely felt in western Nepal and northern India.
Tectonic setting
Nepal lies in the Himalayas, which were created as a result of the Indian Plate colliding with the Eurasian Plate, forming the Main Himalayan Thrust.
Earthquakes are common in Nepal. In 1934, a magnitude 8.0 earthquake struck Sagarmatha, killing over 10,700 in Nepal and in Bihar, India. A magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck eastern Nepal in 1988, killing over 700. In 2015, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake killed over 8,900 in central Nepal, many in the capital Kathmandu.
Earthquake
The earthquake was felt by over 42.1 million people across Nepal, India and China.[2] The earthquake occurred as a result of reverse faulting. It was felt as far away as the Indian capital of New Delhi, approximately 400 km (250 mi) away.[3]
Impact

Six people, including four minors were killed,[4] all of whom died when a house collapsed in Doti District.[5] Twelve others were injured, five of them seriously, 924 houses collapsed and 5,186 others were damaged.[6][7][8][9]
India
In the city of Rudrapur in the state of Uttarakhand, a young woman was injured while fleeing in panic. In the village of Bhanti in Almora district, cracks appeared in several houses.[10][11] In Shravasti district, in Uttar Pradesh, the quake caused cracks to appear in the floors of a house.
