Earthquakes in Afghanistan

Seismic activity in Afghanistan is moderate by global standards, with 13 events recorded in the past 30 days, and 27 of the events on record reached magnitude 5 or above — the level at which damage becomes a genuine concern for vulnerable construction.

212 earthquakes have been recorded in Afghanistan in our catalogue, 13 of them in the past 30 days.

The average magnitude is 4.5 and the average focal depth 129 km. 212 events reached magnitude 4 or above and 27 reached magnitude 5 or above.

The strongest earthquake recorded in Afghanistan in this period was a magnitude 6.3 event near Khulm, Afghanistan on 02 November 2025, at a depth of 28 km. A magnitude 6.3 earthquake radiates roughly 42,502 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

Locations recording the most events include Jurm (58), Ashkāsham (32), Jalālābād (17), Farkhār (16), Khandūd (10).

26% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 74% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). A substantial share of intermediate-depth events points to a subducting slab beneath the region rather than purely crustal faulting.

The deepest event on record here was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake at 249 km beneath Jurm, Afghanistan on 04 October 2026.

By band, the catalogue holds 185 in the magnitude 4 range, 24 in the magnitude 5 range, 3 in the magnitude 6 range.

The busiest single day was 31 August 2025, with 4 recorded events.
