4.0 magnitude earthquake jolts Balochistan’s Dalbandin, no casualties

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck 100 km southwest of Dalbandin in Pakistan's Balochistan province on Saturday, the National Seismic Monitoring Centre reported. The quake occurred at a depth of 35 km.

The district administration said no loss of life or property had been reported so far, republicworld.com reports, citing The Express Tribune. The region has seen multiple tremors in recent months, including a May quake in Khuzdar and a June one in Barkhan, neither causing casualties aside from three injured in the June event.

Pakistan lies along the collision boundary of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan are considered particularly vulnerable.
