A powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake has reportedly struck western Afghanistan on Sunday, just over a week after strong quakes and aftershocks killed thousands of people and flattened entire villages in the same region.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the latest quake’s epicenter was about 34 kilometers (21 miles) outside Herat, the provincial capital, and eight kilometers (five miles) below the surface.
There were no immediate official reports of possible casualties or damage.
