US Edition5.6-magnitude earthquake strikes Khuzdar
A 5.6 magnitude quake struck near Khuzdar, following a smaller 3.8 tremor, with shaking felt across multiple districts in Sindh and Balochistan, officials reported.
- PMD's National Seismic Monitoring Centre reported on Friday a magnitude 5.6 earthquake 86 kilometres northeast of Khuzdar at 6:30am and a depth of 13 km, with local tremors logged later.
- Because Pakistan lies at the intersection of major plates, it has five seismic zones and last month a 5.6-magnitude quake occurred near Khuzdar, illustrating recent activity.
- Authorities said tremors reached across Sindh, Balochistan, Islamabad, and parts of Khyber‑Pakhtunkhwa, with a 3.8-magnitude foreshock 75km southeast of Khuzdar at 5:52am.
- Experts warned that the rugged terrain complicates relief efforts and makes preparedness critical, while officials said the tremors remind communities in Sindh and Balochistan of ongoing seismic threats.
- Looking back, an October 2025 5.0-magnitude quake in Quetta and Richter scale monitoring by national seismic agencies highlight ongoing seismic activity.
