This was the second time that an earthquake struck the province within a week. On July 31, another quake measuring 5.6 magnitudes struck several parts of the Makran Division of the province, while tremors were felt in the Gwadar, Pasni, Ormara, and Kech areas as well.

No casualties or damage to property were immediately reported.

Balochistan is currently reeling from unprecedented monsoon season and flash flooding with over 150 people lost their lives so far.
