A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan late on Sunday evening, with tremors felt in the Afghan capital Kabul, Nangarhar province and neighbouring provinces, as well as in parts of Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre recorded the quake at magnitude 5.2. No casualties or damage had been reported in either country in the immediate aftermath, according to reports citing Afghan broadcaster TOLOnews and Geo News. Authorities were still gathering information when the first reports emerged, and further updates were expected as local assessments continued. Earthquakes are not uncommon in this region, which sits near active fault lines, and Sunday night’s tremor was a reminder for households to know basic safety steps — moving away from windows and heavy objects during shaking and checking official guidance afterwards rather than relying on rumours.
