A 4.5-magnitude earthquake shook western Nepal on Friday, the country's seismological department said.

However, there was no report of any damage of property or casualty.

The tremor, measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale, was felt at 3:51 am in the western region and its epicentre was in Baglung district, about 600 km west of Kathmandu, the National Seismological Department said.
