Multiple Earthquakes Strike Afghanistan, Myanmar, Tibet, and Bhutan on February 25

On February 25, multiple earthquakes struck South and Central Asia, including a magnitude 5.3 quake in Afghanistan at 80 km depth, a 3.9 and 4.4 magnitude in Myanmar at 10 km depth, a 3.6 magnitude in Tibet at 50 km depth, and a 3.4 magnitude in Bhutan at 6 km depth. Shallow earthquakes, such as those in Myanmar and Bhutan, pose higher risks due to stronger surface shaking. These regions lie along active tectonic plate boundaries, making them prone to seismic activity and aftershocks.
