The quake hit 111.7 kilometers east of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, the capital city of Kamchatka. Residents felt strong tremors, and many rushed outdoors for safety. Authorities are assessing the situation, but no casualties or property damage have been reported so far.

This incident follows another massive earthquake of 8.8 magnitude that shook the same region recently. Experts say Kamchatka lies in the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” one of the world’s most active seismic zones, where strong quakes occur frequently.

Emergency teams continue to monitor the area for aftershocks. Officials have urged residents to stay alert and follow safety instructions. Scientists are also evaluating potential risks to local infrastructure, including power lines and transport networks. People remain concerned about repeated tremors, but disaster management units are on standby to respond if conditions worsen.

According to officials, the epicenter was near Jalalabad in Nangarhar province, close to the Pakistan border, at a shallow depth that amplified the impact. Afghanistan bore the worst of the damage, with at least nine people killed and over 15 injured. Several homes were damaged, and aftershocks measuring between 4.3 and 5.0 further rattled the region.

In Punjab and parts of Uttar Pradesh, people also reported feeling the ground shake, though no major damage was recorded in India. Emergency services in Afghanistan have been deployed to the affected districts, while local hospitals are treating the injured. Rescue operations are ongoing as authorities fear the death toll may rise.

Earthquakes are frequent in Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush region, where tectonic plates often collide, triggering seismic activity. Experts have warned that more aftershocks could follow. In India, the National Disaster Management Authority has urged citizens to remain calm but stay alert for further tremors.
