Shallow Quake Jolts Region; Aftershocks Expected
A shallow earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale struck an unspecified region on August 3, 2025, at 6:20 AM GMT. The tremor’s relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometers significantly increases the likelihood of aftershocks.
Initial reports suggest considerable ground shaking, but the full extent of the damage and casualties is still being assessed. Emergency services are mobilised and rescue operations are underway in affected areas.
The precise location of the epicentre remains unconfirmed, pending further analysis of seismic data. Authorities are urging residents in potentially affected areas to remain vigilant and follow safety guidelines.
This incident underscores the vulnerability of the region to seismic activity. The need for robust earthquake-resistant infrastructure and public awareness campaigns is paramount in mitigating future risks and minimizing potential loss of life and property.
