An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 has struck the Baluchistan province of Pakistan, as reported by the US Geological Survey (USGS). The quake's epicenter was located 79 kilometers from the city of Khuzdar, an area known for its sparse population. According to measurements from both the USGS and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), the earthquake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers.

Despite the strength of the earthquake, there have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties following the event. This region has experienced seismic activity in the past, and while Baluchistan is relatively underpopulated, the impacts of such earthquakes can be severe depending on the proximity of people and infrastructure to the epicenter.

As the situation develops, local authorities are likely assessing the impact and readiness for potential aftershocks. The absence of reports on injuries or property damage suggests that, so far, the quake has not resulted in significant distress, but monitoring continues to ensure community safety as further assessments are carried out.
