5.3-magnitude earthquake jolts Pakistan's Punjab
Islamabad: An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 struck central Pakistan on Sunday, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) confirmed on Monday. The tremors were felt at approximately 3:54 am Indian Standard Time (IST), with the quake's depth recorded at 10 kilometres, indicating a shallow seismic event. According to the GFZ, the epicentre was located around 149 kilometres west of Multan, a major city in Punjab province. There were no immediate reports of injuries, fatalities, or significant damage to infrastructure. India's National Centre for Seismology (NCS) also recorded the seismic activity, measuring the quake's magnitude slightly lower at 5.2. The NCS noted that the quake occurred at latitude 30.25°N and longitude 69.82°E, at a greater depth of 150 kilometres, which can sometimes reduce the surface impact of such tremors. The NCS shared the data on its official X handle, posting: "EQ of M: 5.2, On: 29/06/2025 03:54:02 IST, Lat: 30.25 N, Long: 69.82 E, Depth: 150 Km, Location: Pakistan." Pakistan frequently experiences seismic activity due to its location on the seismically active boundary between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This collision zone makes regions such as Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa particularly vulnerable to earthquakes. Though this latest tremor caused no visible damage or loss of life, authorities typically urge residents in quake-prone zones to remain alert and follow safety guidelines in the event of aftershocks, according to local media reports. In 2015, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake in Pakistan and Afghanistan resulted in nearly 400 fatalities due to the difficult terrain that complicated relief efforts. In 2021, Balochistan province, the largest in Pakistan, was hit by a quake that caused at least 20 deaths and injured more than 10 others, with landslides hindering initial rescue operations in the remote mountainous area of Harnai.

Earthquake of magnitude 5.2 jolts Pakistan
ANI 29 Jun 2025, 05:29 GMT+10 Islamabad [Pakistan], June 29 (ANI): An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 hit Pakistan in the early hours of Sunday, as reported by the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at 03:54 hours (Indian Standard Time), at a depth of 150 kilometres. The earthquake of magnitude 5.2 occurred at latitude 30.25 N and longitude 69.82 E. The NCS wrote on X, 'EQ of M: 5.2, On: 29/06/2025 03:54:02 IST, Lat: 30.25 N, Long: 69.82 E, Depth: 150 Km, Location: Pakistan.' Pakistan is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, being crossed by several major faults. As a result, earthquakes in Pakistan often occur and are destructive. Pakistan geologically overlaps both the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates. 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 provinces lie on the northwestern edge of the Indian plate in South Asia. However, this region is prone to violent earthquakes, as the two tectonic plates collide. No reports of material damage have surfaced yet. Further details are awaited. (ANI)

Being part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire", the Philippines experiences frequent seismic activity. While minor earthquakes often go unnoticed, stronger ones can be devastating and unpredictable. Notably, a magnitude 7 earthquake in July 2022 triggered landslides and ground fissures in Abra province, resulting in 11 fatalities and 609 injuries. Updates on the recent quake are pending.
