6.2-Magnitude Earthquake Hits Afghanistan; Tremors Felt Across Northern India and Pakistan
A 6.2-magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan's Hindu Kush region on June 27, 2026, at a depth of approximately 215 km, with the epicentre near northeastern Afghanistan. Strong tremors were felt across northern India, including Delhi-NCR and Jammu and Kashmir, as well as in Pakistan, China, and several Central Asian countries. Initial reports indicate no casualties or significant damage. The region is seismically active due to tectonic plate collisions, and recent moderate quakes have also affected Pakistan's Balochistan province.
