6.2 magnitude earthquake jolts China’s Xinjiang region; no casualties reported December 04, 2025 at 01:13AM

A powerful magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck China's Xinjiang region at a shallow depth of 10 km, increasing the risk of strong aftershocks. This event follows a smaller magnitude 3.9 quake in the same region just days prior. China's location on seismic belts makes it highly prone to earthquakes, which have caused significant casualties and destruction historically.
