On April 12, 2025 at 07:30 UTC, a magnitude 4.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 10 km SE of Hazro City, Pakistan, at a depth of 53.0 km and coordinates 33.8349°, 72.5638°. This earthquake was detected by 144 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 433, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 338 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.4 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
