A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck parts of Pakistan, sending strong tremors across Islamabad, Lahore, and several other cities in Punjab. The quake, which occurred suddenly, caused panic among residents as buildings shook and people rushed out of their homes, offices, and commercial areas in fear. Tremors were felt for several seconds, with many reporting noticeable vibrations in high-rise buildings, prompting immediate evacuations as a precautionary measure.
Authorities have begun assessing the situation to determine any potential damage or casualties, while emergency services remain on alert. Initial reports suggest that while the tremors were widely felt, there have been no immediate confirmations of major destruction. Experts have advised citizens to remain cautious and follow safety guidelines, as aftershocks may occur in the hours following the main earthquake.
