Was it felt in Kunduz?

The largest nearby quake this month, M5.0 at 70 km, was probably felt in Kunduz by a rough rule of thumb (an M3 is typically noticed within a few tens of km, an M5 up to a few hundred km; local ground and building type matter a lot).

USGS "Did You Feel It?" received reports for 1 of these quakes: M5.0 on Oct 1, 2026 (3 reports, max intensity 2.7).

If you felt shaking, you can report it to USGS; reports refine the intensity map within minutes.

Tsunami warning status

None of the earthquakes near Kunduz in the past year carried the USGS tsunami flag, which USGS sets for large quakes in oceanic regions where the tsunami warning centres issue messages.

Official tsunami warnings come from the NOAA tsunami warning centres (tsunami.gov) and national agencies; follow local authorities if you are on a coast after strong shaking.

Earthquakes around the world today

Worldwide, USGS listed 141 earthquakes of M1+ in the last 24 hours; the largest was M6.5 Bonin Islands, Japan region.

USGS lists every magnitude in the United States but outside it coverage is complete only from about M4–4.5, so smaller local quakes reported by national agencies may be missing. Magnitudes and locations are revised for hours after an event.
