The epicenter was located 40 kilometers southwest of Pasni, while the depth of the quake was recorded at 14 kilometers beneath the surface, the center confirmed.
Tremors were primarily felt across Gwadar district, and while the intensity sparked panic among locals—many of whom began reciting the Kalima Tayyiba as they evacuated their homes—no immediate reports of loss of life or property damage have been received.
