00:00 A tremor of terror shook Delhi and its neighbourhood this afternoon.
00:09 Buildings in the National Capital Region, including Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad and
00:13 Gurgaon, swayed under the low-intensity earthquake.
00:17 But its 6.2 magnitude on the Richter scale belied its official classification.
00:23 Across the border, echoes of the quake rattled Islamabad, sending office workers fleeing
00:28 in panic.
00:30 Tremors spread even further, reaching parts of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
00:35 The news outlets pinpointed the epicentre in Faizabad, Afghanistan, a seismologically
00:40 active region nestled in the Hindukush mountains.
00:44 The vulnerability arises from a geological tug-of-war, the Indian Plate pushing north
00:48 against the Eurasian Plate, while the Iranian Block grinds against both.
00:53 This constant dance generates immense pressure, erupting in frequent tremors and occasional
00:58 earthquakes like today's.

01:04 devastating events.
01:06 Thankfully, initial reports currently indicate that there are no casualties or major damage.
01:10 However, the full picture is still emerging, and authorities advise caution, as aftershocks
01:15 remain a possibility.
01:17 This event shines a spotlight on the constant threat earthquake poses to the region, a stark
01:21 reminder for the power of nature and importance of preparedness.
01:25 Stay cautious and stay vigilant as more aftershocks may occur very soon.
