On May 27, 2021 at 08:54 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 61 km NNE of Nushki, Pakistan, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 30.0738°, 66.2502°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
