Northern Pakistan is jolted by an earthquake of magnitude 4.9.
Residents in the impacted areas were alarmed by the earthquake tremors that were detected in numerous parts of northern and northwestern Pakistan.
Swat, Buner, Chitral, Azad Kashmir, and the neighbouring areas felt the 4.9-magnitude earthquake.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) reports that the epicentre of the earthquake was situated along the border between Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan.
The focus of the earthquake was located well below the surface of the Earth, at a depth of about 220 km.
Although there were no initial reports of injuries, structural damage, or other significant losses following the earthquake, residents in a number of locations reported feeling the shocks.
It is anticipated that authorities and pertinent agencies would keep an eye on the situation and evaluate any potential consequences.
When an earthquake happens at a significant depth, vibrations can occasionally be felt over a large area.
