New Delhi/Islamabad – April 30, 2025
An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 struck Pakistan on Tuesday night at 21:58:26 IST, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). The tremors were felt in parts of the country, though no major damage has been reported so far.
As per preliminary data from the NCS, the earthquake’s epicenter was located within Pakistani territory. The depth of the quake was moderate, which led to mild tremors being felt in nearby areas as well. The exact coordinates and regional impact are still being assessed by authorities.
There have been no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage. However, local media sources stated that residents in some regions felt the tremors and rushed out of buildings as a precaution. Minor panic was observed in affected zones, though the situation remained under control.
The National Centre for Seismology is closely monitoring seismic activity in the region. While the magnitude was not severe, experts advise caution, particularly in earthquake-prone zones. Emergency response teams are on alert in case of any aftershocks or related incidents.
