An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 on the Richter scale jolted Pakistan in the early hours this morning. As per the National Centre for Seismology, the epicentre of the earthquake was located at a depth of 135 km. More details are awaited in this case.
Afghanistan, Pakistan, and northern India are located in one of the most seismically active zones in the world, where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates converge. The region frequently experiences moderate to strong earthquakes, often felt across borders due to the proximity of fault lines. Pakistan is among the seismically active countries in the world, crossed by several major faults.
