Kashmir Needs Your Voice

With internet services suspended in Pakistan-administered Kashmir since 6 June 2026, timely reporting has become increasingly challenging. The Azadi Times is inviting Kashmir-based writers and journalists to join our network of authors and contributors.

According to local reports, tremors were experienced in Muzaffarabad, Neelum Valley, Leepa Valley, Bagh, Rawalakot, Kotli, Bhimber, Mirpur, and several surrounding mountainous areas. The earthquake struck suddenly, shaking buildings and causing people to recite prayers as they ran for safety.

Although the intensity of the quake has not yet been officially confirmed by geological authorities, early reports suggest it was powerful enough to be felt across much of the region.

No immediate reports of damage or casualties have been received so far, but residents remain on alert as aftershocks are feared.
