In a publish on X, the NCS stated, “EQ of M: 4.6, On: 12/05/2025 13:26:32 IST, Lat: 29.12 N, Lengthy: 67.26 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Pakistan.”
The tremors had been felt in elements of Pakistan at round 1:26 pm immediately. Pakistan is likely one of the most seismically lively nations on the planet, being crossed by a number of main faults. Consequently, earthquakes in Pakistan typically happen and are damaging. Pakistan geologically overlaps each the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates.
Balochistan, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan provinces lie on the southern fringe of the Eurasian plate on the Iranian Plateau. Sindh, Punjab and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir provinces lie on the northwestern fringe of the Indian plate in South Asia. Therefore, this area is vulnerable to violent earthquakes, as the 2 tectonic plates collide.
