Afghanistan Earthquake: Three weeks ago, earthquakes in Myanmar and Thailand caused great devastation. Myanmar was badly damaged in this earthquake. Buildings, historical monuments, ancient structures, and bridges in the capital Naypyidaw and Mandalay were left nameless. In this sequence, an earthquake also occurred in Afghanistan. However, what is its intensity? The European Mediterranean Geological Survey has revealed that it is still unknown. Two years ago, an earthquake in Afghanistan killed 2,500 people.
An earthquake struck Afghanistan in the early hours of Wednesday. The European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) said the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.4 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was 121 kilometers below the surface. The epicenter was 164 kilometers from the city of Baghlan in the Hindu Kush region. A 6.3-magnitude earthquake in Herat province in October 2023 left a deep hole in the ground. That earthquake killed 2,445 people and injured 9,420. The earthquake severely affected 11 villages in Zinda Jan district. The National Center for Seismology (NCS) said the latest epicenter was 55 km away.
The series of earthquakes has worsened the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, which is already suffering from an economic crisis, food shortages and a lack of medical services. Despite the need for international assistance, aid is being delayed due to suspicions about the Taliban’s brutal rule in Afghanistan . However, details of the latest earthquake are not yet known. Earthquakes frequently strike Afghanistan, causing immense loss of life and property. Tremors were also reported in several places in India due to the impact of the earthquake in Afghanistan. The country’s capital Delhi was shaken by the earthquake.
It is known that the recent earthquakes in Myanmar and Thailand have caused great destruction. The earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28 killed about 4,000 people and injured thousands. There was immense property damage. Since then, about 470 aftershocks have occurred. On April 13, four earthquakes struck India, Myanmar, and Tajikistan within an hour, according to the National Seismology Center.
