A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck Pakistan in the early hours of Wednesday, according to the National Centre for Seismology. The earthquake occurred at 2:57 am IST with a depth of 105 km. The location of the earthquake was reported as Pakistan. Further details are still awaited.
This recent earthquake adds to a series of seismic activities in Pakistan in recent months. Last month, a 4.7 magnitude earthquake was reported, followed by a 4.3 magnitude earthquake in January. In the same month, a 6.0 magnitude earthquake shook parts of Pakistan, including Islamabad, Lahore, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has been monitoring these seismic activities and providing updates to the public. As the region remains at risk for earthquakes, it is important for residents to be prepared and stay informed about safety measures.
This recent earthquake serves as a reminder of the geological activity in the region and the importance of being prepared for natural disasters. Authorities are urged to take necessary precautions and ensure the safety of residents in case of future seismic events.
