Pakistan earthquake: Three tremors within 24 hours; no casualties reported yet
Third earthquake jolts Pakistan in one day Pakistan experienced a series of three earthquakes within a span of 24 hours on Sunday, according to data released by the National Center for Seismology (NCS). No casualties or major damage have been reported so far. The latest tremor, measuring 3.8 on the Richter Scale , struck around 11:21 am IST at a shallow depth of 15 km. In a post on X, the NCS said, "EQ of M: 3.8, On: 29/06/2025 11:21:10 IST, Lat: 32.03 N, Long: 72.31 E, Depth: 15 Km, Location: Pakistan." Shallow earthquakes like this one are often more dangerous than deeper ones, as their seismic waves reach the surface with greater force, increasing the potential for damage. Earlier in the day, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake hit the region at 8:02 am IST. Its epicentre was recorded at a depth of just 10 km. The first quake of the day occurred at 3:54 am IST, measuring 5.2 on the Richter Scale. However, this one struck deeper underground, 150 km beneath the surface, making it less likely to cause extensive surface damage. Pakistan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone regions, sitting atop the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This positioning, where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide, makes the region highly susceptible to powerful earthquakes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like เทรด CFDs ด้วยเทคโนโลยีเทรดสุดล้ำ และ รวดเร็วกว่า IC Markets สมัคร Undo Balochistan, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces lie on the southern edge of the Eurasian plate on the Iranian Plateau. Sindh, Punjab, and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir sit on the northwestern edge of the Indian tectonic plate. Further details are awaited.
