May 29, 2025, 06:24 PM IST
Pakistan experienced a tremor on Thursday, registering a magnitude of 4.4 on the Richter scale, according to the National Center of Seismology (NCS). The earthquake struck at 16:06 IST, located at latitude 30.14 N and longitude 70.36 E, at a depth of 10 kilometers.
This recent quake follows another seismic event just two days prior, on Tuesday, May 27, when a magnitude 4.2 earthquake rattled the region at 19:20 IST. The earlier quake was detected at a deeper level of 111 kilometers, situated at latitude 31.31 N and longitude 72.52 E.
The frequency of these earthquakes highlights the geological volatility in Pakistan, which sits on major tectonic fault lines. The NCS is monitoring the situation closely and advises the public to remain vigilant and prepared for potential aftershocks.
While no immediate reports of damage or injuries have surfaced following these tremors, the proximity of these events serves as a reminder of the region’s seismic risks. Authorities are urged to ensure that communities are equipped with disaster preparedness plans in light of the recent activity.
