Earthquakes in Pakistan — December 2025
3 earthquakes were recorded in Pakistan during December 2025, an average of 0.1 per day.
3 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 20 km.
The month's largest event in Pakistan was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Gadani, Pakistan on 15 December 2025 at 19:50 UTC. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Pakistan monthly average of 3 events over the period we cover.
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 3 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.8 near Gadani, Pakistan on 15 December at 10 km; M4.4 near Barkhan, Pakistan on 13 December at 41 km; M4.3 near Barkhan, Pakistan on 17 December at 10 km.
That is close to the 3 events Pakistan averages per month across the 19 months on record.
