The month's largest event in Afghanistan was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Jurm, Afghanistan on 30 June 2025 at 02:32 UTC. A magnitude 4.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Afghanistan monthly average of 9 events over the period we cover, and down from the 9 recorded the previous month.
12% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 88% 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.
By band, the catalogue holds 8 in the magnitude 4 range.
Activity peaked on 17 June, when 2 events were recorded.
The month's largest events were M4.7 near Jurm, Afghanistan on 30 June at 104 km; M4.5 near Qarah Bāgh, Afghanistan on 20 June at 10 km; M4.4 near Farkhār, Afghanistan on 16 June at 197 km.
