ISLAMABAD: After an earthquake struck Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush, tremors were felt in various parts of Pakistan, including the federal capital, on Sunday.
According to the National Seismic Monitoring Center, the epicenter of the earthquake was in the Hindu Kush and it occurred at a depth of 200 kilometers below the surface of the earth. The tremors were mild but were noticeable in several cities of the country.
Fortunately, no loss of life or property has been reported so far. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation, although the deep epicenter has significantly reduced the impact on the surface.
Due to the tectonic boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates, earthquake activity is common in the region, with the Hindu Kush range often acting as a center for such events.
