On January 19, 2025 at 17:28 UTC, a magnitude 4.1 intermediate depth earthquake struck 35 km SE of Khorugh, Tajikistan, at a depth of 153.6 km and coordinates 37.2892°, 71.8657°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 21 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 406 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
