Overview
- The National Seismic Monitoring Centre measured the tremor at magnitude 4 at a depth of 10 kilometers with an epicenter about 50 kilometers southwest of Sibi.
- Provincial authorities said there were no immediate reports of injuries or structural damage and that teams are monitoring for aftershocks.
- NSMC records show Sibi also experienced a magnitude 3.1 quake on November 26 at roughly 10 kilometers depth with an epicenter about 60 kilometers northeast of the city.
- Earlier in November, a magnitude 5.0 earthquake shook Ziarat and nearby areas with no confirmed damage, underlining persistent activity across Balochistan.
- Balochistan sits on the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian plates, and its sparse population and vast terrain pose challenges for rapid response in a stronger event.
