RAWALPINDI – A moderate earthquake with magnitude of 5.4 on the Richter Scale jolted Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday.
The tremors were felt throughout the twin cities and across several locations in KP. Swat, Parachinar, Malakand, Lower Dir, Hangu, Charsadda, Swabi, and their surrounding regions felt tremors.
National Seismic Monitoring Centre said the origin of earthquake was near Afghanistan border.
North Pakistan experiences frequent seismic activities because it lies at the core point of the Indian Plate and the Eurasian Plate, where tectonic stress builds up and is released as seismic activity.
