A 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border region on Saturday afternoon, triggering tremors that were felt across parts of northern India, including Kashmir and Delhi-NCR.
According to the National Centre for Seismology (NCS), the earthquake occurred at 12:17 PM IST at a depth of 86 km beneath the surface. The epicentre was located in the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border area, a region prone to seismic activity due to tectonic movements.
Mild to moderate tremors were felt in the Kashmir Valley and Delhi-NCR, prompting panic among residents. A video from Kashmir showed people rushing out of a building moments after the ground began to shake.
There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage from either side of the border.
