2025-04-22 17:56:13 UTC (2025-04-22) · approx. 10:56 PM UTC+5 local
On April 22, 2025 at 17:56 UTC, a magnitude 3.9 shallow crustal earthquake struck 72 km SE of Diplo, Pakistan, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 23.9314°, 69.9836°.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 11 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 296 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
