2005年巴基斯坦克什米尔地震

In the Himalayan collision zone, where the Indian plate underthrusts Eurasia, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck the Kashmir region in October 2005. Centered near Muzaffarabad, it killed 76,213 people and injured 146,599, with damage estimated at about 6.68 billion dollars and shaking of Mercalli intensity VIII. Steep mountainous terrain triggered extensive landslides that severed roads and isolated survivors as winter approached, complicating relief across a wide, high-altitude disaster zone. The earthquake remains one of the deadliest in South Asian history and a defining event in the seismic record of the western Himalaya.
