KUNAR : The death toll in Sunday night’s earthquake in the eastern province of Kunar has risen to at least 500 people, according to the Taliban-run provincial office of disaster management.
At least 1,000 others were injured in the earthquake that also hit other parts of the country, the office said.
According to the office, the dead and wounded were reported in the districts of Watapur, Manogai, Chapa Dara, Suki and Nurgal in Kunar. They warned the toll could rise as many people remained trapped under rubble.
In neighboring Nangarhar province, Taliban officials said nine people were killed and 20 injured. Reports also indicated dozens were wounded in Laghman province.
The quake struck just after midnight, shaking Kabul as well as border regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.0, with an epicenter near Asadabad in Kunar at a depth of about 27 kilometers (17 miles).
The tremor was also felt in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. Aftershocks continued to be reported in the region.
