Light earthquakes have been felt in several regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Cashmere, Punjab and certain parts of Afghanistan early Wednesday.
According to the National Seismic Superilling Center (NSMC), the earthquake measured 5.3 on the Richter scale.
Trendments have been reported in the KP zones of Malakand, Swat, Shangla, Chitral, Abbottabad, Mardan, Mohmand, Swabi and Dir Lower.
At the cashmere of the Azad, residents of Samahni and neighboring regions also felt the tremors.
In Punjab, tremors were felt in the Zafarwal region.
Meanwhile, in neighboring Afghanistan, an earthquake also struck the Hindu region of Kush, according to the European-Mediterranean seismological center (EMSC).
The EMSC said that the tremor was a magnitude of 5.6 and occurred at a depth of 121 kilometers. The epicenter was located about 164 kilometers east of Baghlan, a city with a population of around 108,000 inhabitants, according to EMSC.
The EMSC had initially pointed out the extent of the earthquake to 6.4 before revising it.
So far, no victim or damage has been reported.
Seismic activity occurs only a few days after several cities in northern Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi were shaken by a moderate earthquake.
According to the National Seismic Superilling Center (NSMC), the earthquake of April 12 occurred at 12:31 p.m., with an amplitude of 5.5 and a reported depth of 12 kilometers. The epicenter was located 60 kilometers north-west of Rawalpindi, 33.90 N and longitude 72.66 of latitude.
The cities of Punjab, including Attock and Chakwal, also reported tremors in the region. In KP, tremors were felt in Peshawar, Mardan, Mohmand, Swabi, Nowshera, Lakki Marwat, Lower Dir, Malakand, Shabqadar and other cities.
Earthquakes are not uncommon in Pakistan, because the country is located on the border of Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. Large parts of South Asia are seismically active while the Indian plate grows north in the Eurasian plate.
