Swat and nearby villages felt a mild earthquake on Sunday, which startled many residents. The earthquake measured 4.7 on the Richter scale. After the tremors, emergency response teams confirmed there were no reports of damage.
The National Seismological Centre said the earthquake struck at a depth of 205 kilometres. Its epicenter was in the Hindukush Mountain Range, a region that often experiences seismic activity. This mountain range stretches through northern Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The tremors were felt across much of Swat, including Mingora and nearby areas. Although the quake caused fear among residents, authorities stated that no deaths or property damage were reported.

Earlier this month, on May 12, a similar earthquake hit Quetta. It registered 4.9 on the Richter scale. The National Seismic Monitoring Centre (NSMC) reported that the tremors reached Quetta and surrounding areas.
NSMC confirmed that the epicentre of the Quetta quake was located west of the city.
These recent tremors in Swat and Quetta highlight the ongoing seismic activity in Pakistan’s northern and western mountain regions. Authorities continue to monitor the areas closely. Despite the scare, both earthquakes caused no harm to people or property.
