Residents from five separate addresses scattered across Ufa reported feeling a tremor that evening, a detail confirmed by the city’s civil protection services. The information comes from the city’s official monitoring portal, which records incidents reported by residents and field checks carried out by emergency responders. This event prompted a rapid response from municipal authorities who coordinate inspections and safety assessments after seismic activity is detected in urban areas.
According to the Unified Mission Dispatch Service, the tremors occurred yesterday from 21:56 to 22:05, and residents described a vibration that was most noticeable on higher floors. Furniture rattled, chandeliers swayed, and water shimmered in aquarium tanks as the building structures briefly responded to the shaking. Emergency teams promptly dispatched to the reported locations carried out on-site assessments to ensure the ongoing safety of residents and to determine whether any further action was required.

Officials noted that the specialists who visited the affected apartments did not observe damage to domestic engineering systems or any compromise to the integrity of building structures. Their inspections focused on electrical networks, plumbing, and structural joints to rule out latent risks that could manifest after such events. Local authorities reiterated that safety checks are standard practice following tremors and are intended to provide residents with clear information about potential hazards.

Preliminary analyses point to a regional seismic sequence, with the initial quake traced to activities in the broader region around Afghanistan earlier in the day. The first major event registered in the area appears to have triggered aftershocks that reached Ufa, according to the agency responsible for earthquake monitoring and public safety. Such remote seismic activity can influence urban areas several hundred kilometers away, especially when aftershocks propagate through utility corridors and loose soil.

Earlier reports indicated that roughly twenty residential buildings experienced damage as a consequence of the Afghan earthquake. Local authorities have since intensified monitoring and safety outreach to affected neighborhoods, coordinating temporary housing solutions and ongoing structural evaluations as necessary. Communities are advised to stay informed through official updates and to follow guidance from emergency services regarding inspections, evacuations, or other protective actions.
