M5.2 Earthquake 52 km NNE of Barkhan, Pakistan — June 26, 2026
2026-06-26 11:48:47 UTC (2026-06-26) · approx. 4:48 PM UTC+5 local
Felt by 1 person across nearby locations. Aftershock of the M5.3 mainshock.
On June 26, 2026 at 11:48 UTC, a magnitude 5.2 shallow crustal earthquake struck 52 km NNE of Barkhan, Pakistan, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 30.3661°, 69.6336°. This earthquake was detected by 63 seismic stations with excellent location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 417, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 5.2 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 951 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 2.3 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
This earthquake is part of an ongoing aftershock sequence following the magnitude 5.3 mainshock that occurred 21 days ago 69 km NNE of Barkhan, Pakistan. Since the mainshock, the USGS has recorded 1 aftershocks in this area. Aftershock activity is expected to continue for days to weeks as stresses on surrounding faults redistribute.

Common Questions
How strong was the magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Barkhan, Pakistan?
The magnitude 5.2 earthquake that struck 52 km NNE of Barkhan, Pakistan on June 26, 2026 at 11:48 UTC had a depth of 10.0 km. For context, this was a moderate earthquake that could be widely felt.
Where did the earthquake occur?
The earthquake epicenter was located at 30.3661°, 69.6336°, which is 52 km NNE of Barkhan, Pakistan.
Were there aftershocks?
Aftershock activity is monitored continuously by the USGS. Aftershock sequences from magnitude 5.2 earthquakes can continue for days to weeks and gradually diminish over time.
Is this the same earthquake as the M5.3 one earlier?
No. This magnitude 5.2 earthquake is an aftershock of the larger magnitude 5.3 mainshock that occurred earlier 69 km NNE of Barkhan, Pakistan. Aftershocks are smaller earthquakes triggered by stress changes from the mainshock.
