Residents of Swat, Buner, Shangla, and surrounding areas in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were jolted awake this morning as a 4.1 magnitude earthquake struck the region. The tremors, which were felt across multiple districts, prompted people to rush out of their homes and buildings, sparking panic among locals.
According to the Seismological Center, the earthquake originated at a depth of 22 kilometers. This comes just a week after similar tremors were felt in the area, raising concerns among residents who have been on edge since the previous seismic activity.
Fortunately, no casualties or damage to property have been reported in Swat, Buner, or Malakand divisions so far. However, authorities have urged the public to remain cautious and take necessary precautionary measures. Rescue teams have been put on standby to respond to any emergencies that may arise.
Local officials and relevant authorities are closely monitoring the situation and are prepared to handle any potential aftershocks. Residents have been advised to stay alert and follow safety guidelines to ensure their well-being in the event of further seismic activity.
