[Afghanistan], January 25 (ANI): An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 struck Afghanistan on Sunday, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said. The earthquake struck at a shallow depth of 10 km, making it susceptible to aftershocks. In a post on X, the NCS said, “EQ of M: 4.1, On: 25/01/2026 02:42:49 IST, Lat: 37.09 N, Long: 71.16 E, Depth: 112 Km, Location: Afghanistan.” https://x.com/NCS_Earthquake/status/2015174054505013705?s=20 Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage to structures and greater casualties.
