The month's largest event in Tajikistan was a magnitude 4.7 earthquake near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 16 August 2025 at 17:35 UTC. A magnitude 4.7 earthquake radiates roughly 169 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is below the Tajikistan monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover — a comparatively quiet month, and down from the 4 recorded the previous month.
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 2 in the magnitude 4 range.
The month's largest events were M4.7 near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 16 August at 108 km; M4.3 near Murghob, Tajikistan on 07 August at 140 km.
