Earthquakes in Tajikistan — July 2026

10 earthquakes were recorded in Tajikistan during July 2026, an average of 0.3 per day.

10 reached magnitude 4 or above and 0 reached magnitude 5 or above. The average focal depth was 83 km.

The month's largest event in Tajikistan was a magnitude 4.8 earthquake near Karakenja, Tajikistan on 07 July 2026 at 22:42 UTC. A magnitude 4.8 earthquake radiates roughly 239 tons of TNT equivalent in seismic energy.

That is well above the Tajikistan monthly average of 4 events over the period we cover — an unusually active month, and up from the 2 recorded the previous month.

50% of events here are shallow (under 70 km), 50% 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 10 in the magnitude 4 range.

Activity peaked on 18 July, when 2 events were recorded.

The month's largest events were M4.8 near Karakenja, Tajikistan on 07 July at 25 km; M4.8 near Khorugh, Tajikistan on 18 July at 137 km; M4.7 near Murghob, Tajikistan on 18 July at 10 km.

That is 147% above the 4 events Tajikistan averages per month across the 19 months on record.
