Overview
- Pakistan’s meteorological agency measured a magnitude 5.7 quake at 170 km depth with an epicentre near the Afghanistan–Tajikistan border.
- Tremors were felt in Islamabad, Peshawar, Swat, Shangla, Buner and Nowshera according to initial reports.
- The US Geological Survey logged a magnitude 5.1 event at about 105 km depth, reflecting routine differences between networks.
- Officials urged residents to stay alert for aftershocks after reporting no immediate casualties or major damage.
- Deep earthquakes can travel far with less surface damage, which aligns with reports from Pakistan’s quake‑prone zone at the edge of major tectonic plates.
