On August 4, 2024 at 23:34 UTC, a magnitude 3.9 intermediate depth earthquake struck 47 km NNE of Ishqoshim, Tajikistan, at a depth of 151.8 km and coordinates 37.1157°, 71.8248°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 11 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 296 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
