4.5 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Pakistan, No Injuries Reported; Second Quake Today

Another earthquake struck Pakistan on Sunday morning, with a magnitude of 4.5, according to the National Center for Seismology (NCS). This is the second quake to hit the nation on the same day. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers, making it prone to aftershocks and stronger ground shaking. The NCS shared the details in a post, stating, \"EQ of M: 4.5, On: 29/06/2025 08:02:51 IST, Lat: 30.24 N, Long: 69.86 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Pakistan.\" There have been no immediate reports of injuries or major damage. Authorities are monitoring the situation, and further details are awaited.

Earlier in the day, a stronger earthquake of magnitude 5.2 also struck the country at a depth of 150 kilometers. Prior to these events, a 4.4 magnitude earthquake hit the region on June 15, which was also shallow at a depth of 10 kilometers. Shallow earthquakes are more dangerous than deeper ones as their seismic waves have less distance to travel, resulting in stronger ground shaking, greater structural damage, and increased risk of casualties.

Pakistan is one of the most seismically active nations due to being crisscrossed by major fault lines. Geologically, Pakistan sits at the intersection of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it highly susceptible to powerful earthquakes.
