  "textContent": "Tremors were felt in Islamabad and Rawalpindi on Monday after a 5.2-magnitude earthquake was reported.\n\nAccording to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the earthquake was recorded at 10:56am. It added that the epicentre was located near the Tajikistan–Xinjiang border region and had a depth of 128 kilometres.\n\nAccording to state-run _PTV_ , the tremors were felt in Islamabad and Rawalpindi.\n\n> Pakistan falls on three major tectonic plates — the Arabian, Euro-Asian and Indian — which create five seismic zones under the country. The intersection of multiple fault lines means that tectonic movements remain a frequent occurrence in the region.\n\nLast week, a 5.7-magnitude earthquake jolted parts of Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.\n\nResidents of Islamabad and KP also felt tremors on April 3, when a 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan.",
