Moderate magnitude 4.5 quake hits 48 km northeast of Sibi, Pakistan in the morning
4.5 quake 29 Dec 10:49 am (GMT +5)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred in the morning on Wednesday, December 29th, 2021, at 10:49 am local time near Sibi, Sibi District, Balochistan, Pakistan, as reported by India's National Center for Seismology (NCS).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a great depth of 441.3 km. The strength of the earthquake may have been tempered by its relative great depth below the surface, which makes it feel weaker in absolute terms. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
According to preliminary calculations, we do not expect that the quake was felt by many people and did not cause any damage. In Sibi (pop. 64,100, 48 km away), Duki (pop. 6,400, 52 km away), Harnai (pop. 11,100, 55 km away), Dadhar (pop. 15,100, 71 km away), Loralai (pop. 37,800, 75 km away), Bhag (pop. 14,600, 91 km away), and Mach (pop. 16,900, 97 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
