Mw 7.5 Hindu Kush Region, Afghanistan

updated 20 February 2025

report

On 26 October 2015 a major earthquake occurred at Hindu Kush Region, Afghanistan at a depth of 207 km. The seismic event occurred at 09:09:32 UTC and had an estimated moment magnitude (Mw) 7.5.

The estimated primary trigger of this seismic event is a tight convergence of critical planetary and lunar geometry on 24 October 2015.

On 24 and 25 October a near convergence of four planetary conjunctions occurred involving Mercury and Venus. The convergence of two planetary conjunctions with Mercury on the 24th was particularly critical as it converged with lunar conjunctions involving the same planets, i.e. Mars and Jupiter. The earthquake occurred two days after these lunar conjunctions.
