A gdacs alert reports an earthquake in Afghanistan at 25/08/2026 01:18 UTC, with Magnitude 4.9M, Depth:10km and 7.5 million in 100km.

The newest supplied event position is that an earthquake occurred in Afghanistan on 8/25/2026 1:18:46 AM. The stored alert gives the event as Magnitude 4.9M, Depth:10km and says it potentially affected 7.5 million in 100km.

The evidence from gdacs identifies the event at 25/08/2026 01:18 UTC. The stored record was published at 2026-08-25T02:49:37.952915+00:00, and it supplies no later update on the event.

Magnitude, depth and alert classification

The core parameters in the gdacs evidence are Magnitude 4.9M and Depth:10km. The alert headline classifies the earthquake as Orange, while the stored record separately assigns high severity and places it in the environment category.

No additional place within Afghanistan is identified in the supplied record. It also provides no subsequent event measurement or updated severity, so the available account remains limited to the original alert details.

How to read the potential exposure figure

The figure of 7.5 million in 100km is presented by the stored alert as a potentially affected total. It should not be treated as a confirmed impact count because the record supplies no such outcome.

The supplied evidence does not report damage, casualties, response activity or other outcomes. The established facts in this record are therefore the occurrence time, Afghanistan location, Magnitude 4.9M, Depth:10km, Orange classification and the potential 7.5 million in 100km.
