The earthquake took place at a shallow depth of 5 km, so it was susceptible to shocks.

At 11:15:51, an earthquake of 4.2 was recorded, also at a depth of 10 km.

Shallow earthquake is generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because seismic waves of shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance for the road to the surface, resulting in stronger fraying of the Earth and potentially greater damage to structures and greater victims.
Bhutan, like the rest of the world, has not been spared the fury of natural risks and is susceptible to many species. Geophysically, Bhutan is located in the young Himalayan mountains and is considered one of the most successful zones in the world, said the Asian Center for Reduction of disasters.
According to Indian seismic code, Bhutan falls into seismic zones IV and V, which are the most active zones. With regard to the location and as shown by past earthquakes, earthquakes are one of the smallest dangers in Bhutan. As a result of global warming, the flood of the glacial lake (Glof) is another risk to Bhutan. As a result of climate change, seasonal strong winds have become one of the dangers in Bhutan, causing considerable damage to rural houses in Bhutan.
The 2011 and 2013 wind storms caused huge damage to rural houses in Bhutan. There are also other risks throughout the country, such as landslides, lightning floods and forest/structural fires, causing significant losses of properties and lives, the Asian Center for Disascing Country. (Or)
