Its epicenter lay near coordinates 24.73° N, 94.63° E, and it was located roughly 155 km south-southeast of Wokha (Nagaland), 159 km southeast of Dimapur, 177 km south of Mokokchung, 171 km northeast of Ngopa (Mizoram), and 193 km northeast of Champhai (also Mizoram).
Earlier that same night, on the midnight of September 29–30, an earthquake of magnitude 3.4 struck Satara, Maharashtra, at a shallow depth of 5 km, about 91 km northwest of Kolhapur.
Also, around 4:28 am IST, a 3.3-magnitude tremor occurred in Tibet at a depth of 10 km, with its epicenter around 227 km north of Pangin (Arunachal Pradesh) and 303 km north of Dibrugarh (Assam).
