An earthquake of magnitude 4.5 occurred in the afternoon on Wednesday, April 20th, 2022, at 4:44 pm local time near Ishqoshim, Ishkoshim, Gorno-Badakhshan, Tajikistan, as reported by India's National Center for Seismology (NCS).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at an intermediate depth of 128.9 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.
