Earthquakes in Tajikistan — April 2026
3 earthquakes were recorded in Tajikistan during April 2026, an average of 0.1 per day.
3 reached magnitude 4 or above and 2 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 43 km.
The month's largest event in Tajikistan was a magnitude 5.5 earthquake near Rasht, Tajikistan on 03 April 2026 at 10:26 UTC. A magnitude 5.5 earthquake radiates roughly 2,682 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.
That is close to the Tajikistan monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover, and down from the 4 recorded the previous month.
67% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 33% 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 1 in the magnitude 4 range, 2 in the magnitude 5 range.
The month's largest events were M5.5 near Rasht, Tajikistan on 03 April at 10 km; M5.1 near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 27 April at 105 km; M4.4 near Rasht, Tajikistan on 07 April at 12 km.
That is 23% below the 4 events Tajikistan averages per month across the 20 months on record.
