Talk:1946 Chatkal earthquake

Aftershocks
I read in the current version of the article: "Numerous aftershocks continued throughout the region. The largest included a magnitude 5.5 and 5.4 in 1955 and 1959. Another magnitude 5.6 struck near Toktogul Reservoir on October 28 1971." They was many years later. So, why are they named "aftershocks"? Gamliel Fishkin 00:20, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
