Earthquakes in Pakistan — April 2025
2 earthquakes were recorded in Pakistan during April 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
2 reached magnitude 4 or above and 1 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 53 km.
The month's largest event in Pakistan was a magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Sanjwal, Pakistan on 12 April 2025 at 07:30 UTC. A magnitude 5.0 earthquake radiates roughly 477 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Pakistan monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and level with the 2 recorded the previous month.
100% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 0% intermediate (70–300 km) and 0% deep-focus (over 300 km). Almost everything here is crustal. That is characteristic of transform faulting or continental deformation rather than subduction — and it means shaking at the surface is strong for the magnitudes involved.
By band, the catalogue holds 1 in the magnitude 4 range, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.0 near Sanjwal, Pakistan on 12 April at 39 km; M4.1 near Gulishah Kach, Pakistan on 01 April at 67 km.
That is 37% below the 3 events Pakistan averages per month across the 19 months on record.
