6.2 Afghanistan earthquake sends tremors across Delhi

India’s National Centre for Seismology said the earthquake occurred at 7:04:51 p.m. IST on Saturday, June 27, 2026.

The agency placed the epicenter in Afghanistan at latitude 36.442 north and longitude 70.672 east. The earthquake originated at a depth of 215 kilometers in the Hindu Kush region.

Tremors felt across northern India

Shaking was reported in New Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, and several other areas of northern India.

Some residents in the Indian capital reportedly left homes and offices after feeling the movement. The initial reports did not identify any damaged buildings or locations with casualties.

The earthquake originated in Afghanistan, but tremors were experienced across the border in India. The considerable depth of the event and its location in the Hindu Kush region contributed to shaking being reported far from the epicenter.

No immediate casualties or property damage reported

Early information indicated that there were no reported deaths, injuries or significant property damage following the earthquake. Authorities had not released a detailed damage assessment at the time of the initial reports.

The National Centre for Seismology listed the earthquake at magnitude 6.2, although some preliminary accounts described it as a magnitude 6 event.

The cross-border tremors highlight the regional impact of earthquakes originating in the Hindu Kush, where seismic events can be felt across Afghanistan and neighboring parts of South Asia. Further updates will depend on official damage and casualty assessments from the affected areas.
