Pakistan has been hit by a succession of earthquakes in the recent past, prompting observers to suspect that the country may be conducting clandestine nuclear tests. The country was rocked by a 4.6 magnitude earthquake on 12 May. Prior to this, Pakistan was jolted by two back-to-back earthquakes on May 10 – one 4.7 magnitude earthquake in the morning, followed by a 4.0 magnitude quake later on in the same day.

This seismic activity primarily located in the northern and western regions were being recorded alongside heightened tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad following the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack where 26 people were killed by Pak-based terror organisation Lashkar-e-Taiba's offshoot The Resistance Front's terrorists, and India’s subsequent military response as part of Operation Sindoor.

More details awaited.
