A 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck Tajikistan on April 13, with its epicenter located 170 kilometers south of Khujand. Felt across several regions, the tremor occurred at a depth of 15 km. Authorities are monitoring aftershocks, with no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage.
An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 struck Tajikistan, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC). The earthquake occurred on April 13, with its epicenter located approximately 170 kilometers south of the city of Khujand, a major city in northern Tajikistan.
The tremor, which struck at a depth of 15 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface, was felt across several regions of the country. While there have been no immediate reports of casualties or severe damage, local authorities are assessing the situation, and emergency services are on standby.
The earthquake is part of the region’s seismic activity, as Tajikistan lies in a seismically active zone within the larger Himalayan earthquake belt. The country has experienced various tremors in the past, and such incidents serve as reminders of the region’s vulnerability to natural disasters.
Residents of Khujand and surrounding areas have reported feeling the tremor, which lasted for several seconds. Efforts are now focused on monitoring aftershocks and ensuring the safety of affected communities. Authorities are urging residents to stay cautious as they await further information.
