A magnitude 5.2 earthquake near Baghlan, Baghlani Jadid District, Afghanistan, was reported just 19 minutes ago by the United States Geological Survey, one of the key international agencies monitoring seismic activity worldwide. The earthquake occurred at a moderately shallow depth of 49.60 km beneath the epicenter early Thursday morning, October 1st, 2026, at 5:29 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake may be revised over the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which also listed it as a magnitude 5.2 earthquake. Other agencies reporting the same quake include India’s National Center for Seismology (NCS) at magnitude 5.3, the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.3, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.3.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the epicentral area. It should not have caused significant damage, apart from objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Baghlan (pop. 108,400), located 8 km from the epicenter; Pul-e Khumri (pop. 56,400), 18 km away; Nahrin (pop. 22,400), 32 km away; Hukumati

A magnitude 4.9 earthquake near Luwuk, Banggai Regency, Sulawesi Tengah, Indonesia, was reported only 11 minutes ago by Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency, considered the main national agency monitoring seismic activity in Indonesia. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter on Thursday morning, October 1st, 2026, at 9:31 am local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the RaspberryShake citizen-seismograph network, which also listed the quake at magnitude 4.9.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Luwuk (pop. 47,800), located 77 km from the epicenter.
