In Balochistan, three young toddlers were killed when earthquakes struck.
The accident results in injuries to five persons, including three women.
QUETTA:
A 3.5-magnitude earthquake that rocked Chaman, Pakistan’s border city with Afghanistan, in the early hours of Saturday left three children dead and five others hurt.
The chief minister of Balochistan’s spokesman, Babar Yousafzai, informed The Express Tribune that two houses fell as a result of the earthquakes.
In the Killi Bilalzai neighborhood of Chaman district, three children—12-year-old Palwasha, 8-year-old Sajawal, and 10-year-old Amina—were murdered when the roof of their mud-walled home fell.
In the meantime, the accident in the same residence also resulted in five injuries, three of which were sustained by women.
The District Headquarters Hospital Chaman, where an emergency was proclaimed, received the injured patients.
Yousafzai reported that the earthquake had a Richter scale magnitude of 3.5.
He claimed that nobody suffered harm in the other residence.
To assist the injured, members of the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and the Levies Force arrived at the destroyed home.
Ten individuals lost their lives last month after a series of earthquakes shook the nation, including two mothers and two children.
Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa is where every fatality took place (K-P). In contrast to initial estimates of over 180 injuries, the PDMA reported a lower total of 62 injuries.
It said that 10 homes were completely destroyed and 55 had some damage.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the 6.8-magnitude earthquake had its epicenter 180 kilometers beneath the surface of Afghanistan in the Hindu Kush area. According to the United States Geological Survey, the 6.5 tremor in Badakhshan was centered close to Jurm.
The massive earthquake that shook the area, including Afghanistan, certain regions of Central Asia, and India, has so far had the greatest impact on K-P.
Several cities in Punjab and Balochistan also experienced tremors, although no injuries were reported. Yet, there were several high-rise structures in Rawalpindi and elsewhere that developed fractures.
A tectonic plate known as the Indian plate was pressing onto the Eurasian plate from the north, causing seismic activity throughout significant portions of South Asia.
On January 29, a 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit portions of the federal capital, while on January 19, a 5.6-magnitude earthquake shook various K-P districts.
