Earthquake In Pakistan & Afghanistan Kills 12
At least 12 people have been killed and more than 200 injured after a powerful earthquake shook large parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The 6.5-magnitude quake damaged buildings, triggered landslides and sent people running into the streets.
It struck on Tuesday evening, centred in a mountainous region in Afghanistan’s north-east near the border with Pakistan.
Tremors from the remote Jurm valley were felt as far as India.
“It was a terrifying tremor. I had never felt such a tremor before in my life,” Kabul resident Khatera told AFP news agency after rushing out of her fifth-storey apartment.
Nine of the confirmed deaths were reported in the valley region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan.
Three others were killed in Afghanistan, the country’s health ministry spokesman said. A child was among those killed in the Laghman province near the country’s border with Pakistan, AFP reported.
