The month's largest event in Tajikistan was a magnitude 5.4 earthquake near Ishqoshim, Tajikistan on 25 February 2026 at 11:12 UTC. A magnitude 5.4 earthquake radiates roughly 1,898 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 8 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, 1 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.4 near Ishqoshim, Tajikistan on 25 February at 104 km; M4.6 near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 01 February at 105 km; M4.2 near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 10 February at 119 km.
