Overview
- A series of shallow-to-moderate quakes struck Balochistan on June 26–27, causing partial collapses of mud houses and a hotel roof in Musa Khel/Gangri and injuring three people, provincial authorities said.
- A separate deep-focus earthquake of about magnitude 6.2 in Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush sent strong but widespread tremors across Pakistan and northern India without immediate reports of major casualties.
- National and international seismic centres gave differing early readings for magnitude and depth for several events, and agencies continue to refine locations and measures as more station data are analysed.
- Provincial disaster authorities and district rescue teams in Balochistan mobilised to shift the injured, inspect buildings, and monitor for aftershocks while emergency control rooms remain on alert.
- The region’s tectonic setting makes frequent quakes likely, deep Hindu Kush events are felt over large areas with limited surface damage, and officials warned residents to report damage and follow safety guidance.
