SWAT
\nEarthquake tremors were felt in Swat and the neighboring areas of Mingora on Saturday.
\nThe tremors struck in the early hours, sending people rushing to the streets, while others sought shelter in open areas. Fortunately, no casualties or property damage have been reported as of now.
\nAccording to the Seismic Center, the earthquake measured 4.2 on the Richter scale and occurred at a depth of 64 kilometers. The epicenter was located in the Hindu Kush mountain range, an area known for its frequent seismic activity.
\nThough the tremors lasted only for a brief period, their intensity was sufficient to create widespread panic among the population, who have been on edge following last week\u2019s strong earthquake that shook Islamabad, Peshawar, and various parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
\nThe earlier tremors had already heightened the sense of vulnerability, with people in those regions rushing out of their homes, many reciting prayers for safety.
\nSwat, historically prone to seismic activity, saw a repeat of this unsettling phenomenon, reminding locals of the unpredictability of the region\u2019s geological conditions. Local authorities have yet to issue any updates, but residents are urged to stay alert and follow safety protocols in the event of further tremors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
