On July 29, 2026 at 03:39 UTC, a magnitude 4.0 shallow crustal earthquake struck 64 km SSE of Ḩājjīābād, Iran, at a depth of 49.4 km and coordinates 27.8030°, 56.2290°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.0 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 15 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 347 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
