So if the earthquake is detected as soon as it is triggered, information about it can be related a few seconds ahead of it reaching the ground. Theoretically, it is possible to offer a lead time of a few seconds between the time of the origin of the earthquake and the time it reaches the Earth’s surface. The energy can be released only in the form of massive earthquakes. Western Himalayas continues to be the one of the most dangerous seismic zones in the world. Magnitude is measured on a logarithmic scale, which means the seismic waves produced by a magnitude 6 earthquake have 10 times higher amplitude than the ones produced by a magnitude 5 earthquake. The epicentre of the earthquake was near Jurm in northeastern Afghanistan, about 300 km north of Kabul, quite close to Afghanistan’s borders with Tajikistan, according to the USGS.

At least two killed, over 300 injured in Pakistan after quake hits Pakistan, Afghanistan, with tremors felt in India.

For a moment, we felt it is the end of our world,” he said. Fifty-two people were injured in other parts of the province, officials said. “We were sitting in our home when we saw everything around us shaking. At least two people have been killed and hundreds injured in northern Pakistan after a magnitude 6.5 earthquake hit areas across Afghanistan and Pakistan, with tremors felt as far as the Indian capital New Delhi.

In India, the earthquake tremors were felt in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, New Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh. The depth of the fault is over 150 km so first primary waves were felt and then secondary waves. The reason why people in northwest India and Delhi felt for a relatively long time is because of the depth. In New Delhi and surrounding region including Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, members of public came out of their apartment buildings as wave of panic spread through the region. Authorities and aid workers reported very strong tremors in Badakhshan and across other northern areas. With Afghanistan's Hindukush mountain range as the epicentre, the tremors were felt across Afghanistan, Pakistan and northern India, including in the capital New Delhi and the National Capital Region.

- March 8, 2023 - 4.0 magnitude earthquake, epicentred 10 km depth in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan These tremors either had their epicentre in India, or nearby India. In India, several states are more prone to earthquakes. They believe a huge amount of energy is stored along the faultlines due to the continuous interaction of tectonic plates, which can only be released in the form of massive earthquakes. The epicentre of the earthquake was Afghanistan's Hindu Kush region, while its depth was 180 kilometres, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department. According to scientists, the Western Himalayas, i.e.
