Earthquake today: 5.8 magnitude earthquake jolts Pakistan; Afghanistan and India also feel the tremors

<p>A scientist from The Netherlands has predicted that in the next 48 hours, Pakistan will face one of the most devastating earthquakes in its history.</p>

<p>The prediction was made by Dutch researcher Frank Hoogerbeets of the Solar System Geometry Survey (SSGEOS), an organisation based in The Netherlands.</p>

<p>The organisation has claimed to have detected an unusual increase in electric charge fluctuations along the fault lines in Balochistan’s Chaman area, arguing that it could lead to a powerful earthquake in Pakistan.</p>

<p>Hoogerbeets said that the time between October 1 and 3 would be “critical” for Pakistan.</p>

<p>“Planetary geometry is difficult to interpret with four conjunctions spread out over the next 10 days. As far as I can tell, 1-3 October will be more critical,” he said on social media X on Sept 29.</p>

<p>The unproven predictions casued a flutter on Pakistani social media, prompting the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) to issue a clarification.</p>

Catastrophic earthquake to strike Pakistan? Dutch scientist makes startling prediction

<p>Afghanistan, Pakistan and India were jolted by a massive earthquake Tuesday night. The magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck northern Afghanistan, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre. At least two people died in the eastern part of the country, while one child was dead in Pakistan. Terrifying videos showing the enormity of the quake are now emerging.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Footage of a local TV channel in Peshawar doing the rounds on social media shows the news anchor maintaining composure even as the quake shakes the entire studio. In the video, the news anchor of Mahshriq TV, a local Pashto TV channel, in Peshawar, Pakistan can be seen holding steady and being calm as the quake strikes, shaking the studio, the camera and other equipment.&nbsp;</p>
