No loss of life or injuries has been reported so far. After the tremors were felt, people in the region ran out of their houses and chaos ensued in the area.

Last month, 20 people were killed and 300 injured after an earthquake shook Balochistan’s Harnai. Shocks were felt as far away as Quetta, Chaman, Ziarat, Zhob, Sibbi, Loralai, Dukki, Pishin, Qila Saifullah, and Muslim Bagh.
