The 2011 Dalbandin earthquake occurred on 19 January at 01:23 a.m. local time with a moment magnitude of 7.2 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong). The shock occurred in a sparsely populated area of Pakistan's Balochistan province, causing moderate damage, three deaths, and some injuries.

Earthquake

The tectonic environment of this region is dominated by the motions of the Arabian plate, the Indian plate, and the Eurasian plate. This earthquake occurred as a result of normal faulting within the lithosphere of the subducted Arabian plate.

Damage

About 200 mud houses, including some government offices were reported damaged in the Dalbandin area of Pakistan. Two women died of heart attacks in Quetta after the earthquake, about 330 km northeast of the epicenter, where the Mercalli intensity was IV (Light).

Intensity

Tremors after the earthquake reached neighboring countries including Bahrain, UAE, Oman, Iran, Afghanistan, and India. It was felt with a Mercali intensity of IV (Light) in Islamabad, Karachi, Muscat, Delhi, and III (Weak) in Kabul, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi.
