Afghanistan Hit by 4.6 Magnitude Earthquake, Second Quake in Two Days

In the early hours of Friday, Afghanistan experienced another seismic event as a 4.6 magnitude earthquake shook the region, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS). The tremor, occurring at 5:11 am (IST), had a depth of 110 km.

This recent quake follows closely on the heels of another temblor on Thursday, which measured 4.2 in magnitude. The Thursday quake struck at approximately 5:44 am (IST), with its epicenter located at latitude 36.36 and longitude 71.18, at a depth of 124 km.\

The consecutive seismic activities have raised concerns among residents and authorities, highlighting the region’s vulnerability to geological disturbances. While no significant damage or casualties have been reported thus far, the repeated occurrences serve as a reminder of the seismic activity prevalent in Afghanistan.

Efforts to monitor and assess the situation continue as experts analyze the data gathered from these recent events. The NCS remains vigilant in providing updates and guidance to ensure the safety and well-being of those affected by the earthquakes.

As Afghanistan grapples with ongoing challenges, including political instability and humanitarian crises, the occurrence of natural disasters adds another layer of complexity to the region’s recovery efforts. Authorities and aid organizations remain poised to respond swiftly to any emergent needs arising from these seismic events.
