The earthquakes occurred near the city of Khoy, and started with a magnitude 5.1 foreshock on September 21. [3] On 5 October, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake hit about 8 km (5.0 mi) southeast of Khoy, at a depth of 15 km. [1] On 18 January 2023, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck about 4 km to the southwest.

Within 250 km (160 mi) of the 7 October earthquakes epicenters, there have been seven magnitude 6.0 or greater earthquakes with epicenters in Iran. These include a M w 7.3 earthquake in May 1997 and a M w 7.1 earthquake in 1979. [6] In June 2022, eastern Afghanistan was affected by an earthquake that killed over 1,000 people. [7]

The strongest and most destructive earthquake in state history was the 1931 Valentine earthquake, [3] : 20 which had an estimated magnitude of m b 5.6–6.4. [4] : 1171 The second strongest earthquake in Texas history also occurred in West Texas, registering as a magnitude 5.7 tremor near Alpine in 1995. [1]
Seismogram of the earthquake. The earthquake measured 6.4 on the moment magnitude scale, and had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). It came exactly a year after a 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck onshore in the Cape Mendocino area on December 20, 2021, [7] causing only minor damage. [8]

This is a list of earthquakes in Afghanistan. Fairly moderate earthquakes have been very destructive in the country, particularly in the years 1998, 2002 and 2023. This can be blamed on the population residing in mostly informal and adobe houses, which are extremely vulnerable to earthquake shaking. [1]
