On September 17, 2021 at 19:12 UTC, a magnitude 4.7 shallow crustal earthquake struck 26 km N of Kohlu, Pakistan, at a depth of 30.7 km and coordinates 30.1325°, 69.2820°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.7 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 169 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 1.1 km — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
