On Thursday, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck northeastern Afghanistan. Buildings shook from Kabul to Islamabad in neighboring Pakistan. Tremors were felt even in the Indian capital of Delhi. Residents fled their homes and offices in panic. The epicenter was located in the Hindu Kush mountain range at a depth of 206 kilometers. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries. Rescuers need time to reach hard-to-reach areas near the epicenter of the earthquake. It was the third major earthquake to hit Afghanistan in the past three months. The country frequently suffers from earthquakes, especially in the Hindu Kush mountain range, near the junction of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates.
