1946 Chatkal earthquake

[1] The earthquake's hypocenter is probably located beneath the Tian Shan Mountains, near the border with Uzbekistan and north of Namangan.

Severe property damage was reported in its aftermath, but the number of deaths and injuries remains unknown.

Intensity X to VIII was evaluated to occupy an area perpendicular to the Chatkal Range, and parallel to the fault.

This threatened the small community of Toktogul with a possibility of the rockfall dam breaching, causing a surge.

The earthquake's strength was also felt in Osh and Tashkent, Uzbekistan where the shaking intensity was VI (Strong) to IV (Light), causing substantial damage to buildings.
