Earthquakes in Pakistan — October 2025
5 earthquakes were recorded in Pakistan during October 2025, an average of 0.2 per day.
5 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 24 km.
The month's largest event in Pakistan was a magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Chaman, Pakistan on 05 October 2025 at 13:29 UTC. A magnitude 4.9 earthquake radiates roughly 338 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is well above the Pakistan monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 3 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 5 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.9 near Chaman, Pakistan on 05 October at 10 km; M4.9 near Dalbandin, Pakistan on 03 October at 52 km; M4.7 near Barishal, Pakistan on 13 October at 10 km.
That is 58% above the 3 events Pakistan averages per month across the 19 months on record.
