Afghanistan hit by another dangerous high intensity earthquake
Shares
On Wednesday, reports emerged indicating that Afghanistan was struck by an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3. This seismic event occurred just four days after a powerful tremor devastated the same region, resulting in the tragic loss of over 3,000 lives.
The most recent earthquake, according to available information, occurred at approximately 05:10 local time. Its epicenter was situated 28 kilometers to the north of Herat, a major city in Afghanistan.
It's worth noting that Afghanistan frequently experiences significant seismic activity, primarily due to its geographical proximity to the Hindu Kush mountain range. This region's susceptibility to earthquakes is attributed to its location near the convergence of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates.
The exact consequences and impact of this recent earthquake are still uncertain and are currently being assessed.
