An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 on the Richter scale jolted central Nepal today morning.

"An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 occurred around Ramche of Sindhupalchok district at 5:19 am," the National Seismological Centre tweeted minutes after the tremors.

The epicentre of the tremor has been recorded at Ramche of Sindhupalchok district. The tremors were felt in the most eastern part of the country as well.
