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.
