Islamabad [Pakistan], March 5: An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 struck Pakistan, the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said.
In a post on X, the National Center for Seismology said the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometres.
“EQ of M: 4.3, On: 04/03/2026 22:52:15 IST, Lat: 28.85 N, Long: 67.15 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Pakistan,” NCS wrote.
Pakistan among most earthquake-prone regions
Pakistan is considered one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world due to its geographical location along the boundary where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates collide.
Also Watch:
Several regions lie near major fault lines
Regions such as Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan lie near major fault lines, making them particularly vulnerable to seismic activity.
Punjab and Sindh, located along the northwestern edge of the Indian Plate, also remain vulnerable.
