Officials said there were no reports of injuries or damage to property.
According to the District Disaster Management Office, the tremors were reported at Dalwat in Kalwan taluka at 3.38 pm,&nbsp; Asarbari in Peth taluka at 3.38 pm and Borgaon in Surgana taluka at 3.40 pm, the news agency reported.
Officials said the magnitude of the latest tremors has not yet been determined.
<h2>No casualties or damage</h2>
Preliminary reports indicated that the tremors did not cause any loss of life or damage to property.
The officials were continuing to monitor the situation while gathering further information.
The latest incident comes after Nashik recorded nine tremors between July 25 and 29. The earlier tremors ranged in magnitude from 2.8 to 3.9, according to the PTI.
Following the recent seismic activity, a team from the National Center for Seismology (NCS) has arrived in Nashik to inspect the affected areas and assess the situation.
Officials said that the team will study the recent pattern of seismic activity and submit its findings.
<h2>Tremors felt in July</h2>
Earlier, in July, several mild tremors were felt across parts of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/nashik-rains-heavy-rains-swell-godavari-other-rivers-in-maharashtras-nashik-residents-warned-23641278" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Maharashtra's Nashik district</a>. However, there were no reports of any loss of life or major damage to property.
The Nashik district administration has stepped up monitoring and ordered inspections of vulnerable buildings as a precaution.
According to officials, the tremors were experienced in Surgana, Kalwan, Dindori and Peth talukas, the news agency had earlier reported.
The Maharashtra Engineering and Research Institute (MERI), based in Nashik district of Maharashtra, had said that the tremors measured around 3.6 in magnitude.
The latest tremors were reported late on Saturday night and in the early hours of Sunday after initial seismic activity was recorded in Surgana on Saturday morning, according to the PTI.
Nashik Collector Ayush Prasad had said that authorities have instructed officials to inspect buildings that may be structurally unsafe, particularly in <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/sikkim-tunnel-collapse-kills-10-after-landslide-in-namchi-district-23640967" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">areas vulnerable to landslides</a>, as per the PTI.
The administration is closely monitoring the situation to ensure public safety and respond quickly if required, he said.
Officials had said cracks have appeared in the walls of a government-run ashram school in Sarad village following the tremors.
Apart from this, no significant damage to public or private property has been reported.
<h2>Collector explains possible cause</h2>
Collector Prasad had earlier said that western parts of Nashik district contain geological fault lines that can trigger such tremors.
He added that <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/jammu-and-kashmir-rains-seven-killed-after-rain-triggered-landslide-hits-house-23640736" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">heavy rainfall</a> may also have contributed by increasing underground pressure after rainwater seeped into the ground, the news agency reported.
According to the district collector, the recent activity is part of an earthquake swarm, where several small tremors occur over a period rather than one major earthquake, as per the PTI.
He said such tremors may continue for days, weeks or even longer in affected areas.
