A seismological expedition conducted by Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Emergency Situations reported a 4.1 magnitude earthquake within the country. The event was recorded as part of ongoing regional monitoring to understand earthquake behavior and improve public safety measures. The data point comes from an organized network of seismic stations that continuously track underground movement and ground shaking across the region. (Source: TASS)
Seismologists noted the event occurred at 08:01 local time, which corresponds to 05:01 Moscow time. The epicenter location was identified as approximately 424 kilometers northeast of Alma-Ata, with seismic activity originating at a depth of about 10 kilometers beneath the surface. This shallow focus typically results in noticeable shaking near the epicenter, although the impact depends on local soil conditions and population distribution. (Source: TASS)
There were no reports of damage or injuries connected to this 4.1 magnitude event. Local authorities emphasized continued monitoring and preparedness as a standard precautionary measure in areas near fault lines. (Source: TASS)
Earlier seismic records also indicate a separate event with a magnitude of 6.8, reportedly resulting in fatalities in Tajikistan. The epicenter for that quake was about 63 kilometers from Murgab, a town with a population exceeding 10,000, with seismic energy released at a depth of roughly 77 kilometers. Such a deeper focus can alter how shaking propagates and affects distant communities. (Source: TASS)
Another seismological report from the same Kazakh ministry noted tremors of magnitude 7 that originated in Tajikistan and were felt in Alma-Ata with intensity estimated at 2–3 on the local shaking scale. This pattern underscores regional seismic connectivity and the way events in neighboring countries can be noticed far from their source due to networked monitoring and atmospheric conditions.
