On September 20, 2026 at 20:41 UTC, a magnitude 4.5 shallow crustal earthquake struck 39 km ESE of Khuzdar, Pakistan, at a depth of 10.0 km and coordinates 27.7043°, 66.9959°. This earthquake was detected by 54 seismic stations with good location accuracy and was assigned a USGS significance rating of 312, placing it among routine seismic activity.
Physical scale: An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 releases seismic energy equivalent to roughly 85 metric tons of TNT. Empirical fault-scaling laws (Wells & Coppersmith, 1994) estimate the subsurface rupture length at approximately 767 m — a useful intuition for the size of the slip patch on the fault.
