Which place in Manipur experienced epicenter of an earthquake in April 2026?
Kamjong
In April 2026, a moderate earthquake struck Manipur with its epicenter located in Kamjong district, near the India-Myanmar border, as reported by the National Center for Seismology.
Kamjong is a hill district of Manipur carved out of Ukhrul in December 2016 and lies in seismic Zone V, one of India's highest earthquake-risk zones.
Ukhrul, Senapati and Churachandpur are other hill districts of Manipur but were not the epicenter of this particular April 2026 tremor.
Hence, the correct place is Kamjong.
