Delhi-NCR Earthquake Shakes Homes, Residents Capture Swaying Fans

An earthquake struck the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border region late Friday evening. The tremor was felt across northern India, including Delhi-NCR, Kashmir and parts of Punjab.

Seismological summary

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported the quake measured up to magnitude 5.9. The event originated in the Hindu Kush area at about 175 km depth.

The significant depth helped seismic waves travel long distances. That explains the wide area that reported shaking.

Tremors across northern India

Residents in Delhi-NCR and Srinagar felt distinct shaking. People in parts of Punjab also reported tremors.

Authorities gave no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The shaking caused a brief wave of alarm among locals.

Eyewitness footage and social posts

Videos spread quickly on social platforms after the quake. An X user posted footage showing fans and lights swaying in a room.

ANI released video from Srinagar that showed a chandelier, a fan and a lamp moving. Another resident shared a clip of a hanging clock gently swaying.

Many posts carried tags and captions, such as Delhi-NCR Earthquake Shakes Homes and Residents Capture Swaying Fans. These clips highlighted how the tremors affected indoor objects.

Implications and context

Deep-focus quakes often produce weak surface shaking but can be felt over broad regions. This event is consistent with seismic activity in the Hindu Kush seismic zone.

Local agencies continue monitoring for aftershocks. Filmogaz.com compiled information from GFZ and local reports for this update.
