On Wednesday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported a 6.4-magnitude earthquake that struck Afghanistan.

The quake, centred at 121 km (75 miles), caused no immediate reports of damage or injuries. While Afghanistan is prone to seismic activity, this event has drawn attention due to its strength and potential impact.

According to the EMSC, the earthquake occurred deep underground, which likely reduced its surface effects. Deep quakes, like this one at 121 km, tend to cause less damage than shallow ones. No official reports have confirmed harm to people or property, but authorities monitor the situation closely.

Afghanistan lies on several fault lines, making earthquakes common. Past quakes have caused significant losses, such as the 2022 tremor that killed over 1,000 people. The country’s rugged terrain and limited infrastructure can complicate response efforts, but the depth of this quake may have spared communities from major disruption.

Officials assess the quake’s impact, though early signs suggest minimal consequences. Experts note that aftershocks are possible, and residents should stay alert. Updates from local and international agencies will clarify the situation in the coming days.
