    7 magnitude earthquake strikes Kazakhstan, ripple effects felt across Central Asia

    In a seismic event recorded on January 23, 2024, at 00:09:02 Almaty time (January 22, 2024, at 18:09:02 GMT), a significant earthquake occurred with its epicenter situated 264 km southeast of Almaty on the border of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The seismic activity was registered by the network of seismic stations operated by "NNTSSN and I" under the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kazlenta.kz reported. 

    Key Details of the Earthquake:

    • Epicenter: Located on the Kazakhstan-Kyrgyzstan border
    • Energy Class: 15.1
    • Magnitude MPV: 6.7
    • Coordinates: 41.22° N, 1.78° W
    • Depth: 65 km

    The earthquake's impact prompted a swift response from relevant government agencies, as outlined by the city Emergency Situations Department. Following the interaction algorithm, notifications were sent to the appropriate authorities, and monitoring efforts were initiated to assess potential destruction. The operational duty officer of the police department received information to conduct visual inspections of buildings and structures in the city for signs of damage, telegram news channel Centralasianow reported. 

    The earthquake's effects were not limited to the Kazakhstan-Kyrgyzstan border, as a magnitude 7 earthquake was observed on the border of Kyrgyzstan and the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China. The strength of the seismic activity reverberated across various regions of Uzbekistan.

    Perceived Power in the Republic of Uzbekistan:

    • Tashkent: 3 points, located 862 km from the epicenter
    • Andijan region: 3-4 points, situated 602 km away
    • Fergana region: 3-4 points, approximately 656 km from the epicenter
    • Namangan region: 3-4 points, with a distance of 657 km from the epicenter

    Residents are reported to be taking to the streets, Ulysmedia.kz reported.

    Earlier, the head of the emergency response department of Almaty, Bekbolat Bugabaev, noted that in case of danger, it is necessary not to panic and go to a safe place. And he clarified that rescuers are ready for magnitude 7 earthquakes.

    “According to the disaster relief plan, 55,000 personnel and 9,000 pieces of equipment will be sent to Almaty from all over the republic. Within the city limits, 384 reception points for those left homeless and 104 reception points for sanitary losses will be deployed. The group of liquidation forces will be managed by local executive bodies and the headquarters of the Ministry of Emergency Situations,” he said.
