The sudden tremor caused widespread panic, leading many locals to recite verses from the Holy Quran for protection. This earthquake serves as a reminder of the region’s susceptibility to seismic events, marking the second such incident in recent weeks. On July 2, a similar tremor with a magnitude of 4.5 also originated near the Tajikistan border and affected Mingora and nearby areas.
