Two Earthquakes of Magnitude 5.3 and 5.4 Strike Pakistan Within 24 Hours
Pakistan experienced two earthquakes within 24 hours: a 5.3-magnitude tremor on Friday evening at a depth of 75 km, followed by a 5.4 to 5.5-magnitude quake on Saturday at around 35 to 40 km depth, with the epicenter in Balochistan. Both events were reported by the National Center for Seismology and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. No casualties or significant damage have been reported. Pakistan's location along the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates makes it prone to frequent seismic activity.
