An earthquake today: Pakistan was again formed on Tuesday evening by an earthquake of 4.2 Magnitude concentrated near Jhang before in the Faisalabad division in the province of Pandjáb. The trembling occurred at a depth of 111 kilometers, while the coordinates were recorded at 31.31 ° N width and 72.52 ° E.
According to the National Center for Seismology, an earthquake hit at about 19:30 local time.
This last seismic event represents the seventh remarkable earthquake in Pakistan in May 2025, reflecting the period of increased tectonic activities throughout the region.
At the beginning of this month, the country experienced several important tremor, including the earthquake of 4.6 Magnitude 12. May at a shallow depth of 10 km and two consecutive earthquakes 10. It can measure 5.7 and 4.0.
Other remarkable shocks in May include:
- 4.0 Size near Islamabad and Khyber then thenhtunkhwa 9. May
- 5.7 Size in Afghanistan area in Hindu Kush, felt across northern Pakistan 10 May
- 4.2 Size affecting parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan on May 5
- 4.7 Size northwest of Peshawar on May 16
- 4.1 Size recorded near Pakistan on May 24
Pakistan usually experiences around 243 an earthquake of 4.0 or more per year within a circle of 300 km, on average about every two days.
This persistent seismic activity is mainly due to the location of the Earth along the convergent border between Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, as well as its proximity to seismic hotspots, such as the Hindu Mountains Kush.
Provinces like Balochistan, Khyber then Hotunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan situated on the southern border of the Eurasian plaque, while Panjab and Pakistan occupied cashmere rest on the Indian album. This geological environment makes the region susceptible to regular seismic activity.
The recent series of earthquakes has been felt across several regions, including Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pandjab and Gilgit-Baltistan, emphasized by the continued vulnerability of Pakistan to frequent and sometimes serious seismic disorders.
