5.2 magnitude earthquake jolts Swat, adjoining areas

SWAT: A 5.2-magnitude earthquake jolted Swat and surrounding areas on Friday.

The epicentre of the quake is not yet known. No loss of life or property has been reported so far.

Last month, a 5.0-magnitude earthquake was felt in Swat and surrounding areas. “The quake’s epicentre was Afghanistan-Tajikistan border region,” the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said.

In January, an earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale was felt in Swat, Chitral, Malakand and adjoining areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The United States Geological Survey said the earthquake was recorded as 4.4-magnitude-strong on the Richter scale.
