A monumental earthquake rocked eastern Afghanistan on Monday, reportedly killing at least 610 people and injuring over 1,300 others. Several villages were razed, houses were destroyed and rescue teams rushed to remote areas that were prone to the jolts, for relief operations.
Unverified videos circulating online showed bodies being carried by people, devastation all around and rescue teams being on site.
Afghanistan is prone to deadly earthquakes, and witnessed similar incidents, like a magnitude 4.3 quake in February last year. That year, over 1,000 people were reportedly killed in different earthquake incidents, Reuters reported.
Before that, a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck in October 2023, which led to the deaths of at least 4,000 people.
