People likely experienced weak shaking there. Several smaller towns and villages are located closer to the epicenter and might have experienced stronger shaking. In the capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, 366 km (227 mi) away from the epicenter, the earthquake was probably felt as very weak shaking.The following table shows some of the places that might have been affected (or not) by the shaking.DistancePlaceMax. shaking intensity(*)RegionCountry68 km (42 mi)NW of epicenterKarakenja(pop: 2,900)IV: LightDistricts of Republican SubordinationTajikistan79 km (49 mi)N of epicenterDaroot-Korgon(pop: 6,420)III: WeakAlay District, Osh OblastyKyrgyzstan91 km (57 mi)NW of epicenterVahdat(pop: 6,400)III: WeakDistricts of Republican SubordinationTajikistan157 km (98 mi)N of epicenterKyzyl-Kyya(pop: 32,000)III: WeakBatkenKyrgyzstan158 km (98 mi)N of epicenterIradan(pop: 26,200)III: WeakBatkenKyrgyzstan159 km (99 mi)S of epicenterKhorugh(pop: 30,500)III: WeakGorno-BadakhshanTajikistan162 km (101 mi)N of epicenterQuvasoy(pop: 96,900)III: WeakFergana Uzbekistan174 km (108 mi)N of epicenterFergana(pop: 299,200)III: WeakFergana Uzbekistan183 km (114 mi)NW of epicenterRishton(pop: 34,800)III: WeakFergana Uzbekistan184 km (115 mi)N of epicenterMarg'ilon(pop: 253,500)III: WeakFergana Uzbekistan187 km (116 mi)N of epicenterQuva(pop: 46,400)III: WeakFergana Uzbekistan192 km (120 mi)NW of epicenterIsfara(pop: 274,000)III: WeakViloyati SughdTajikistan196 km (122 mi)N of epicenterOsh(pop: 322,200)III: WeakOsh OblastyKyrgyzstan200 km (124 mi)N of epicenterAsaka(pop: 62,200)III: WeakAndijan Region Uzbekistan208 km (129 mi)N of epicenterShahrixon(pop: 71,400)III: WeakAndijan Region Uzbekistan213 km (132 mi)NW of epicenterQo'qon(pop: 259,700)III: WeakFergana Uzbekistan217 km (135 mi)N of epicenterAndijon(pop: 747,800)III: WeakAndijan Region Uzbekistan217 km (135 mi)NW of epicenterKonibodom(pop: 211,100)III: WeakViloyati SughdTajikistan220 km (137 mi)NW of epicenterBeshariq(pop: 96,900)III: WeakFergana Uzbekistan229 km (142 mi)SW of epicenterKulob(pop: 214,700)III: WeakViloyati KhatlonTajikistan240 km (149 mi)S of epicenterIshqoshim(pop: 26,000)II: Very weakGorno-BadakhshanTajikistan243 km (151 mi)N of epicenterNamangan(pop: 713,200)II: Very weakNamangan Uzbekistan245 km (152 mi)N of epicenterManas(pop: 123,200)II: Very weakJalal-Abad oblastKyrgyzstan246 km (153 mi)SW of epicenterHulbuk(pop: 21,700)II: Very weakViloyati KhatlonTajikistan249 km (155 mi)W of epicenterNorak(pop: 18,100)II: Very weakViloyati KhatlonTajikistan252 km (157 mi)N of epicenterChust(pop: 100,200)II: Very weakNamangan Uzbekistan252 km (157 mi)SW of epicenterChubek(pop: 19,600)II: Very weakViloyati KhatlonTajikistan255 km (158 mi)NW of epicenterQayroqqum(pop: 49,200)II: Very weakViloyati SughdTajikistan257 km (159 mi)W of epicenterDanghara(pop: 22,800)II: Very weakViloyati KhatlonTajikistan260 km (161 mi)NW of epicenterBuston(pop: 36,900)II: Very weakNohiyai Bobojon Ghafurov, Viloyati SughdTajikistan268 km (167 mi)NW of epicenterKhujand(pop: 191,000)II: Very weakNohiyai Bobojon Ghafurov, Viloyati SughdTajikistan272 km (169 mi)W of epicenterVahdat(pop: 45,700)II: Very weakDistricts of Republican SubordinationTajikistan275 km (171 mi)W of epicenterYovon(pop: 17,500)II: Very weakViloyati KhatlonTajikistan278 km (173 mi)NW of epicenterMuchun(pop: 27,800)II: Very weakViloyati SughdTajikistan282 km (175 mi)SW of epicenterFarkhor(pop: 21,700)II: Very weakViloyati KhatlonTajikistan288 km (179 mi)W of epicenterDalyoni Bolo(pop: 23,700)II: Very weakViloyati SughdTajikistan292 km (181 mi)W of epicenterBoshkengash(pop: 23,700)II: Very weakDushanbeTajikistan293 km (182 mi)W of epicenterDushanbe(pop: 679,400)II: Very weakDushanbeTajikistan294 km (183 mi)NW of epicenterIstaravshan(pop: 273,500)II: Very weakViloyati SughdTajikistan366 km (227 mi)NW of epicenterTashkent(pop: 1,978,000)II: Very weakTashkent UzbekistanNotes:(*) Shaking intensity according to the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) and estimated using seismic models.User-reports for this quakeThere are no user reports for this quake yet.If you felt it, be the first to report it!Get the Android appCompare Quake DataData for the same earthquake as reported by different agenciesThe more agencies report about the same quake and post similar data, the more confidence you can have in the data.

When aftershocks are detected, we will update this section.What are aftershocks?Larger earthquakes (above magnitude 5 or so) such as this one are usually followed by smaller ones known as aftershocks that occur in the same area during the days, weeks, months or even years after the main shock.[More info]What about this quake?Based on its magnitude, the fault that was active during the quake likely ruptured beneath a surface area of approximately 13 km2 (5 square miles) as a first-order estimate. The length of the rupture zone thus was probably around 6 km (4 mi).[More info]Recorded aftershocks, latest first (0 quake)Jun 3, 2026 06:59 am (Universal Time)8 minutes ago5.133 km0 km - This quakeTajikistanMain Shock (this quake)MoreMap of aftershocksEarthquake statisticsAverage number of earthquakesBased on data from the past 26 years and our earthquake archive back to 1900, there are about 164 quakes on average per year in the area near the epicenter of this quake (within 100 km/61 mi):Mag. 6 or higher: 0.16 quakes per year (or 1 quake every 6.3 years)Mag. 5 or higher: 1.3 quakes per yearMag. 4 or higher: 21.1 quakes per yearMag. 3 or higher: 80 quakes per year (or 6.7 quakes per month)Mag. 2 or higher: 152 quakes per year (or 12.7 quakes per month)Mag. 1 or higher: 164 quakes per year (or 13.7 quakes per month)The area where this quake occurred has a very high level of seismic activity. It has had at least 20 quakes above magnitude 6 since 1900, which suggests that larger earthquakes of this size occur infrequently, probably on average approximately every 5 to 10 years.Number of quakes per yearPrevious quakes in the same area of this earthquake
