An earthquake measuring 5.0 magnitude struck Pakistan on Saturday, according to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), reports 24brussels. The tremor occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers, raising concerns about potential aftershocks.
The NCS reported the earthquake’s details via a post on X: “EQ of M: 5.0, On: 11/10/2025 20:23:57 IST, Lat: 31.19 N, Long: 71.04 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Pakistan.”

Just days earlier, on October 5, another earthquake measured 4.6 magnitude struck the region. The NCS shared details on this as well: “EQ of M: 4.6, On: 05/10/2025 18:59:30 IST, Lat: 30.33 N, Long: 66.43 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Pakistan.”

Shallow earthquakes like these typically pose a greater risk due to the proximity of seismic waves to the surface, resulting in intensified ground shaking and potential damage to structures. Pakistan, situated in a seismically active region traversed by multiple major faults, remains on high alert for such occurrences.
Notably, provinces including Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan lie at the southern edge of the Eurasian plate, while Sindh and Punjab are positioned on the northwestern edge of the Indian plate, heightening their vulnerability to seismic activity. Balochistan, situated near the active boundary of the Arabian and Eurasian tectonic plates, experiences frequent tremors.
Historically, Pakistan has faced significant seismic events, including the devastating 1945 Balochistan earthquake, which recorded an 8.1 magnitude and remains the largest earthquake in the country’s history.
