emirates7 - A 4.0-magnitude earthquake hit Pakistan early Saturday, as reported by the National Center for Seismology (NCS). The quake, with a depth of just 10 kilometers, struck at 1:44 AM at coordinates 29.67°N and 66.10°E.
This is the fourth tremor in recent weeks, following a 4.2-magnitude earthquake on May 5. No immediate reports of damage or injuries have been received.
Given its shallow depth, the earthquake has a higher likelihood of producing aftershocks. Shallow quakes often result in more intense shaking at the surface, which increases the risk of structural damage and casualties. The NCS shared this information on X, emphasizing the heightened danger associated with such seismic events.
