Another report from the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) slightly adjusted the magnitude to 5.6.

In Karakenja a town with a population of 2,900 located 33 km from the epicenter, and Daroot-Korgon, 39 km away with 6,400 residents, the shaking was described as light. Cities further away, like Fergana (121 km) and Margilan (131 km), may have experienced weak tremors.
