Earthquakes in Tajikistan — March 2026
4 earthquakes were recorded in Tajikistan during March 2026, an average of 0.1 per day.

The month's largest event in Tajikistan was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake near Murghob, Tajikistan on 18 March 2026 at 14:24 UTC. A magnitude 4.5 earthquake radiates roughly 85 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Tajikistan monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover, and up from the 3 recorded the previous month.
25% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 75% 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 M4.5 near Murghob, Tajikistan on 18 March at 117 km; M4.4 near Murghob, Tajikistan on 14 March at 98 km; M4.3 near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 05 March at 10 km.
