An earthquake of magnitude 5.9 occurred only 15 minutes ago 32 km southeast of Rasht, Tajikistan, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Rasht, Districts of Republican Subordination, Tajikistan, in the morning on Sunday, April 13th, 2025, at 9:24 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 data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Rasht (pop. 10,800) located 32 km from the epicenter.
In Novobod (pop. 5,400) located 50 km from the epicenter, Roghun (pop. 7,700) 74 km away, and Obigarm (pop. 7,400) 89 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Isfara (pop. 274,000) located 135 km from the epicenter, and Kulob (pop. 214,700) 137 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send

An earthquake of magnitude 6.1 occurred in the morning on Sunday, April 13th, 2025, at 9:24 am local time near Rasht, Districts of Republican Subordination, Tajikistan, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.6. A third agency, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), reported the same quake at magnitude 6.0.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage.
Moderate shaking probably occurred in Rasht (pop. 10,800) located 37 km from the epicenter, and Novobod (pop. 5,400) 52 km away.
In Roghun (pop. 7,700) located 72 km from the epicenter, Obigarm (pop. 7,400) 87 km away, Kulob (pop. 214,700) 128 km away, and Isfara (pop. 274,000) 145 km away,
