5.3-magnitude earthquake strikes northern Pakistan

By Sajjad Hussain (Editors: Update with new details) ISLAMABAD, Jan 1 (PTI) A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck parts of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa region in northern Pakistan, including the provincial capital Peshawar on Saturday, causing panic among residents. The earthquake occurred at about 6.15 pm at a depth of 180 km along the Afghan-Tajik border. The Pakistan Meteorological Department said tremors were felt in Swat Valley, Peshawar, Lower Dir, Swabi, Nowshera, Chitral, Mardan, Bajaur, Malakand, Babi, Akura, the capital of Islamabad and the surrounding areas. Dozens of residents rushed to leave their homes to seek refuge in safer places, Dawn reported. According to the provincial disaster management authority, there have been no reports of loss of life or property so far. On December 24 last year, a 4.2-magnitude earthquake hit Swat and other areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The National Seismological Center said the quake was at a depth of 226 km and was centered in the Hindu Kush mountain range. Another earthquake of magnitude 4.1 shook parts of Karachi on the eighth of December last year. The monitoring center said that the epicenter of the quake was 15 km north of the Dubai Health Authority in Karachi and was at a depth of 15 km. Pakistan is the fifth earthquake-prone country in the world. The country spans between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates and is located in the Indus-Tsangpo Suture, which is about 200 kilometers north of the Himalayan Front. This makes it highly susceptible to earthquakes. The region has the highest seismicity and experiences the strongest earthquakes in the Himalayas, mainly due to movement on thrust faults.
