Magnitude 4.3 earthquake strikes near Gahkuch, Ghizer District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
4.3 quake 19 Mar 11:22 am (GMT +5)

An earthquake of magnitude 4.3 occurred in the morning on Saturday, March 19th, 2022, at 11:22 am local time near Gahkuch, Ghizer District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, as reported by India's National Center for Seismology (NCS).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate to considerable depth of 170 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 Gahkuch (pop. 10,000, 53 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
