The earthquake's tremors were felt in both the twin cities and cities throughout the country's northwestern province.
Tremors were felt in the following KP cities: Peshawar, Swat, Parachinar, Malakand, Lower Dir, Hangu, Charsadda, Swabi, and their surroundings. Tremors were also detected in the North and South Waziristan areas.
The National Seismic Monitoring Centre said that the earthquake's epicenter was in Afghanistan's southern area.

In the first week of this month, a 3.2-magnitude earthquake rattled Karachi, particularly the Clifton area.

However, there were no reports of casualties or property damage from the earthquake.
Natural catastrophes such as earthquakes are not uncommon in Pakistan, which is located on the border of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
Large regions of South Asia are seismically active as the Indian plate pushes north onto the Eurasian plate.
Recent earthquakes have highlighted the necessity of catastrophe preparation and mitigation methods.
