the news reports of tremors in China and Afghanistan.

Two tremors that the USGS classifies as significant
are in Nepal.

Here, the IMD and
the USGS are on the same page on intensity of the aftershocks/earthquakes and
but they differ on their depths. The IMD says every tremor of the day in Nepal
had a depth of 10 Kms whereas the USGS data varies on the same - 10 Kms for
some, 15 for some. And most significantly, it differs in case of the strongest
tremor of the day, i.e., the one having intensity of 7.3.
