Nepal earthquakes caused significant destruction, leading to severe loss of life and infrastructure. Recently, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake on January 7, 2025, near the Nepal-Tibet border was felt in North India.

The most powerful of these, measuring 7.1 in magnitude, was the strongest in this region since the devastating April 2015 earthquake in Nepal that had killed about 10,000 people.
