Quake 4.5 Sep 10 4:13 am (GMT +4:30)

A moderate to deep earthquake of magnitude 4.5 was reported in the early morning near Faizabad, Visabad, Badakhshan, Afghanistan, according to the German Research Center for Geosciences (GFZ). The earthquake struck on Friday, September 10, 2021, at 3:43 am The locality is at a medium to large depth of 207 km. The strength of the earthquake may have dampened its great relative depth below the surface, making it feel weak in absolute terms. The exact size, center, and depth of the earthquake may be reviewed within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and improve their calculations, or when other agencies release their report. The EMSC classified it as a 4.6-magnitude earthquake, and according to preliminary calculations, we do not expect many people to feel the earthquake and it did not cause any damage. In Jurm (population 12,100, 31 km), Ashkasham (population 12,100, 36 km), Ishqoshim (population 26,000, 43 km), and Faizabad (population 44,400, 67 km), the earthquake was probably imperceptible. VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update the size and depth if these changes change and follow up if other important news about the earthquake becomes available.

Other users would like to hear about it, if you don’t feel the earthquake even though you are in the area, please report it! Your contribution is valuable to seismic science, seismic risk analysis, and mitigation efforts. You can use your device’s location or a map to indicate where you are during the earthquake. Thank you! The earthquake data itself was reported by different agencies

Information: The more agencies report the same earthquake and publish similar data, the more you can trust the data. It usually takes up to a few hours for earthquake parameters to be calculated with near-perfect accuracy.
