20 minutes ago, very deep (600 km) Mw7.1 earthquake below Sabah, Malaysia.
Deep enough to be harmless, I suppose, but (due to the depth) were felt at great distances
This type of events are relatively common more to the east, at Celebes Sea, not here...

Wow - 7.1 in the mantle transition zone under Sabah. We were discussing the various possible mechanisms for the 5 M5+ events over the past few years in a similar location only this week!

Experienced an earthquake a few minutes ago. Aftershocks are still coming, some strong and some are alright but felt.
Apparently the epicenter is around mag. 7 and our region is feeling around mag. 5 🥲

A magnitude 6 earthquake struck northeastern Afghanistan just before midnight on August 31st. Vulnerable homes built of mud, brick, stone, and wood collapsed; the reported death toll has exceeded 800 people.
Why do earthquakes occur here, what happened in this one, and why was it so deadly?

It's not right across the recent #earthquake but more to the W. The earthquake may have occurred on a thrust fault equivalent to the one to the left of the section. 1/2 ⚒️
