An earthquake of 3.9 magnitude hit Meghalaya on Thursday, the third such incident in the northeast in a span of a week.

A report by the National Center for Seismology report also said that the epicenter of the latest quake, recorded at 9.26 am, lay in East Khasi Hills at a depth of 46 km.

The impact of the quake was felt in Shillong, the district headquarters of East Khasi Hills district, Ri-Bhoi and parts of Assam's Kamrup Metropolitan district.

State Disaster Management department officials said there was no report of any loss of life or damage to property due to the tremor.

The two quakes that were reported last Sunday and Monday, of 4 and 3.2 magnitude respectively, had epicenters near Hojai in Central Assam.

Officials at the Regional Seismological Centre here said the epicentre of the earthquake was located in East Khasi Hills district at a depth of about 46 km underneath the earth's crust.

The northeastern region falls in a high seismic zone, with earthquakes occurring frequently recorded there.
