A strong earthquake measuring 5.5 on the Richter scale struck central Pakistan early Sunday morning. The seismic event occurred at around 3:54 am Indian Standard Time, as confirmed by the National Centre for Seismology and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
The earthquake’s epicenter was located in central Pakistan at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6.21 miles), which intensified the tremors felt throughout the region. Despite the quake’s strength, initial reports indicate that there are no casualties or significant damage recorded so far.
Residents in the affected areas reported feeling the earth shake, experiencing some minor disturbances. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely to assess any delayed effects or potential aftershocks.
This event highlights Pakistan’s vulnerability to seismic activities due to its geographic location near tectonic plate boundaries.
