4.5 Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Swat and Surrounding Areas, Causing Panic

A 4.5 magnitude earthquake has struck Swat and surrounding regions, sending residents into a state of panic. The earthquake, with a depth of 188 km, originated from the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan, according to the Seismological Center.

 

The tremors caused widespread fear among the local population, prompting many to leave their homes and recite prayers for safety. The earthquake’s impact was felt across several areas, with residents reporting shaking and structural disturbances.

 

This recent earthquake follows a previous tremor felt across various cities, including Islamabad, just a few days ago. That earthquake, which had a magnitude of 5.4 on the Richter scale, also caused significant concern among the public.

 

Authorities are currently assessing the situation and monitoring any potential aftershocks. The focus remains on ensuring the safety and well-being of affected residents.
