On 12 May 2015, at 12:50 pm local time (07:05 UTC), a major earthquake with a moment magnitude of 7.3 struck Nepal, 18 kilometres (11 miles) southeast of Kodari. The epicentre was near the border of Nepal's Dolakha and Sindhupalchowk districts. This earthquake occurred on the same fault as the larger magnitude 7.8 earthquake on April 25, but it was further east. As a result, it is regarded as an aftershock of the April quake. It struck at a depth of 18.5 kilometres (11.5 mi). Northern India, including Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal, experienced tremors. Tremors were felt up to 2,400 kilometres away from the epicentre in Chennai.
