 Zusammenfassung: Since the M-w 7.9 Gorkha earthquake of April 25, 2015, the seismicity of central and western Nepalese Himalaya has been monitored by an increasing number of permanent seismic stations. These instruments contribute to the location of thousands of aftershocks that occur at the western margin of the segment of the Main Himalayan Thrust (MHT) that ruptured in 2015. They also help to constrain the location of seismic clusters that originated at the periphery of the fault ruptured by the Gorkha earthquake, which may indicate a migration of seismicity along the fault system. We report here a seismic crisis that followed the Lamjung earthquake, a moderate M-w 4.7 event (M-L 5.8, M-Lv 5.3) that occurred on May 18, 2021, about 30 km west of the Gorkha earthquake epicenter at the down-dip end of the locked fault zone. The study of the hypocentral location of the mainshock and its first 117 aftershocks confirms mid-crustal depths and supports the activation of a 30-40(degrees); dipping fault plane, possibly associated with the rupture of the updip end of the MHT mid-crustal ramp. The cluster of aftershocks occurs near the upper decollement of the thrust system, probably in its hanging wall, and falls on the immediate northern margin of a region of the fault that has not been ruptured since the 1344 or 1505 CE earthquake. The spatio-temporal distribution of the first 117 aftershocks shows a typical decrease in the associated seismicity rate and possible migration of seismic activity. Since then, the local seismicity has returned to the pre-earthquake rate and careful monitoring has not revealed any large-scale migration of seismicity towards the locked fault segments.
