Afghanistan was shaken near Asadabad, Asadabad District, Kunar, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 only 9 minutes ago, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 35. km beneath the epicenter near Asadabad, Asadabad District, Kunar, Afghanistan, in the afternoon on Tuesday, September 2nd, 2025, at 4:29 pm 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.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake which listed the quake at magnitude 5.5 as well. Other agencies reporting the same quake include France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.3, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.5.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Asadabad (pop. 48,400) located 30 km from the epicenter, Asmar (pop. 15,700) 53 km away, Jalalabad (pop. 271,900) 59 km away, and Muhmand Dara (pop. 6,800) 68 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
