The month's largest event in Tajikistan was a magnitude 4.4 earthquake near Мирсаид Миршакар, Tajikistan on 11 January 2025 at 17:28 UTC. A magnitude 4.4 earthquake radiates roughly 60 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

0% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 100% 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 4 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.4 near Мирсаид Миршакар, Tajikistan on 11 January at 118 km; M4.2 near Барвоз, Tajikistan on 05 January at 157 km; M4.2 near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 19 January at 153 km.
