Seismic Shocks Rock Asia: Afghanistan And Tibet Hit By Tremors Late Monday Night – Details | World News

Kabul/Tibet: Earthquakes shook the parts of Asia late on Monday night, Afghanistan recorded the size of 4.1, and Tibet is experiencing 3.2 earthquakes according to the National Seismology Center (NCS).

The earthquake in Afghanistan hit a depth of 180 kilometers. NCS X, “M eq of M: 4.1, on: 06/10/2025 20:12:21 IST, Lat: 36.64 N, Long: 70.88 E, Depth: 180 km, Location: Afghanistan.”

This comes to the region after a more shallow 3.9 earthquake on 28 September at a depth of 10 kilometers, which makes it prone to aftershocks. NCS, “M: 3.9, on: 28/09/2025 04:16:13 IST, Lat: 34.62 N, Long: 70.84 E, Depth: 10 km, Location: Afghanistan.”

Shallow earthquakes tend to be more dangerous than the deep ones. Seismic waves have less distance to travel to the surface, producing stronger tremor, potentially more structural damage and higher losses.

India reiterated the commitment to help Afghanistan among these difficulties. Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni, a permanent representative of India against the United Nations on September 18, said to the Security Council, “We believe in the greatest importance of international and regional consensus and cooperation in key issues related to Afghanistan, and actively joins with all the relevant parties to promote peace, stability and development in the country.”

“India’s emergency priorities in Afghanistan include providing humanitarian assistance and the implementation of capacity development attempts for the Afghan people.”

The Ambassador also confirmed the UN aid mission support in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and thanked SRSG Roza Otsbayeva for the briefing.

In the meantime, Tibet, on the night of October 6, 10 kilometers depth of 3.7 -magnitude earthquake experienced an earthquake. NCS Records, “M: M: M: 3.7, on: 02/10/2025 05:49:04 IST, Lat: 28.42 n, long: 87.26 E, depth: 10 km, place: Tibetan.”

The Tibetan plateau is extremely seismicly active due to the collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indian tectonic plate. This ongoing tectonic pushing not only creates earthquakes, but also directs the rise of Himalayas.

While errors on the North Plateau are mainly showing strike-loss activity, the East-West extension experiences the East-West extension for normal errors. The satellite images in the late 1970s and the late 1980s first match the seven large slits and normal error in Tibet, which was formed 4 to 8 million years ago.

Historically, the Tibetan saw some of the biggest earthquakes of the region and reached 8.0 or higher in size during strike-loss errors. In various places along the plateau, smaller faulting earthquakes, including five incidents between 5.9 and 7.1 in 2008, also occur.

The last tremors in Afghanistan and Tibet emphasize the ongoing seismic fragility of these regions. Shallow earthquakes are combined with existing infrastructure challenges, increasing the risk of local communities and preparation measures, human support and vigilant monitoring.
