The Earthquake Research Institute Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGS) has predicted an earthquake in the Chaman Fault Line in the next two days. According to SSGS, a strong tremor has been recorded underground in the Baluchistan region, and in the coming two days, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6 or higher could occur in this area.

According to SSGS, an increase in electrical charge in the near-space around the sea surface has been observed, which may lead to a strong earthquake in the coming days in regions with seismic activity, including Baluchistan province in Pakistan.

It's important to note that these are preliminary estimates, and there is currently no reliable method to determine exact locations. SSGS has designated the Chaman Fault Line as a region with the potential for an extremely powerful earthquake.

What is the Chaman Fault Line? It is the largest fault line in South Asia, known as the Chaman Fault System, stretching 900 kilometers. On May 31, 1935, a devastating earthquake struck Quetta on this fault system, resulting in the loss of thousands of lives.

This fault line spans regions in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
