据美国地质调查局(USGS)实时事件记录,阿富汗兴都库什地区于世界时11月15日17时48分发生5.0级地震,震中位于努里斯坦省帕伦(Parun)以北约74公里处,北纬36.095度、东经70.950度,震源深度约100.7公里,USGS 事件编号为 us7000tyfh。换算为阿富汗当地时间是15日晚10时18分,美西时间15日上午9时48分。
巴基斯坦地震监测部门测得这次地震为5.3级、震源深度约84公里,震中同在兴都库什地区。巴基斯坦首都伊斯兰堡与开伯尔-普什图省多座城市有明显震感,不少居民跑到室外躲避。据巴基斯坦媒体报道,截至当晚,巴方未收到人员伤亡或重大财产损失的报告。
兴都库什山脉地处板块交界带,地震多发,震源较深的地震常在阿富汗、巴基斯坦与塔吉克斯坦的广大区域带来震感。本稿只写 USGS 与巴方已确认的震级、时间、深度与位置,伤亡与损失情况以当地后续官方通报为准。

Magnitude 5.0 Earthquake Strikes Afghanistan's Hindu Kush Region: Epicentre 74 km North of Parun, Depth About 101 km
According to the U.S. Geological Survey's real-time event record, a magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan at 17:48 UTC on November 15. The epicentre was about 74 km north of Parun in Nuristan Province, at 36.095 degrees north latitude and 70.950 degrees east longitude, at a depth of about 100.7 km. The USGS event ID is us7000tyfh. In local Afghan time the quake occurred at about 10:18 p.m. on November 15, or 9:48 a.m. Pacific Time that day.
Pakistan's seismological centre measured the quake at magnitude 5.3 with a depth of about 84 km, also centred in the Hindu Kush. Strong tremors were felt in the capital Islamabad and several cities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, sending many residents outdoors. Pakistani media reported that, as of that evening, no casualties or major property damage had been reported in Pakistan.
The Hindu Kush range lies along a plate boundary and is prone to earthquakes; deeper quakes there are often felt across wide areas of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Tajikistan. This report states only the magnitude, time, depth and location confirmed by the USGS and Pakistani authorities; casualty and damage figures will follow later official local reports.
