In the early hours of December 26, Tajikistan experienced a 4.5 magnitude earthquake, as reported by the National Centre of Seismology (NCS). The seismic event struck at 05:44 AM Indian Standard Time (IST) and was registered at a depth of 130 kilometers.
The earthquake’s coordinates were specified as Latitude 38.20 N and Longitude 72.89 E. Locals felt the tremors, but there have been no immediate reports of damage or injuries in the aftermath of the quake.
The NCS shared details of the earthquake via a post on social media platform X, confirming the magnitude, time, and geographical details of the seismic activity.
Earthquakes are not uncommon in the region, given Tajikistan’s position along various tectonic plate boundaries. However, the NCS has been closely monitoring seismic activities and encourages residents to stay informed about safety protocols in case of future events.
As further assessments are conducted, additional information regarding the quake’s impact and any necessary responses from emergency services will be communicated to the public.
The country’s geological stability continues to be a point of concern for authorities. Residents are advised to remain vigilant, particularly in earthquake-prone areas.
For ongoing updates and safety information, officials urge citizens to follow relevant channels and updates on social media and local news outlets.
