ZIARAT: Mild earthquake tremors were experienced in Ziarat and its nearby regions, causing panic among residents.
As the shaking was felt, people rushed out of their homes and buildings as a precautionary measure.
According to initial reports, no loss of life or property has been reported so far, while relevant authorities are continuing to monitor and assess the situation.
Balochistan is one of the most earthquake-prone regions of Pakistan due to its location near active tectonic plate boundaries.
The province lies at the junction of the Arabian, Indian, and Eurasian plates, which makes seismic activity relatively frequent in different areas.
Districts such as Quetta, Ziarat, Khuzdar, Chaman, and surrounding regions often experience mild to moderate tremors.
In the past, Balochistan has witnessed several devastating earthquakes that caused significant loss of life and infrastructure damage, highlighting the need for preparedness and awareness.
Experts advise residents to follow safety guidelines, construct earthquake-resistant buildings, and remain alert during seismic activity to minimize risks and ensure public safety.
