Epicentre Distances:
§90 km NNE of ISLAMABAD, Pakistan
§15 km ESE of Mingaora, Pakistan
§120 km WNW of Srinagar, Kashmir
§165 km N of Jhelum, Pakistan
USGS:
Near the town of Muzaffarabad,
about 10 km southwest of the earthquake epicenter,
active thrust faults that strike northwest-southeast have
deformed and warped Pleistocene alluvial-fan surfaces into
anticlinal ridges. The strike and dip direction of these thrust
faults is compatible with the style of faulting indicated by the
focal mechanism from the nearby M 7.6 earthquake.
§Muzaffarabad is the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.
