Seismic signal at 08:37 NPT recorded as a collapse, not an earthquake

A tremor near Rasuwagadhi at 08:20 preceded a signal first catalogued as M4.4 at 08:37 NPT, later revised to Ms 5.2 (GFZ Mw 5.7). USGS concluded the signal was generated by a rock-ice collapse from the Lirung massif, not a prior earthquake. A second landslide followed about three hours later (Ms 4.2).
