The latest quake came days after an earthquake of 4.0 magnitude hit Pakistan on the intervening night of Friday-Saturday.

Shallow earthquakes (less than 70 km deep) tend to cause more surface damage than deeper ones. At just 10 km below the surface, the seismic waves travel a shorter distance, producing intense shaking and destruction near the epicentre.
