A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck northeastern Afghanistan late on September 4, 2025, at 22:26 IST, with its epicenter located at 34.58° N, 70.66° E, at a depth of about 160 km. Tremors were widely felt across Jammu & Kashmir and Delhi-NCR, though no immediate reports of damage or casualties emerged. This quake comes on the heels of a devastating magnitude-6 disaster earlier this week in eastern Afghanistan that has claimed over 2,200 lives, left thousands injured, and caused widespread destruction across remote regions, compounding the humanitarian crisis in the quake-hit country.
