Afghanistan Earthquake | Over 1,400 Killed In Afghanistan Earthquake, Rescue Operations Underway

A powerful earthquake that struck eastern Afghanistan at the weekend killed more than 1,400 and injured 3,000 others, the Taliban government said Tuesday, making it one of the deadliest to hit the country in decades. The casualty count has mounted steadily since the 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit late Sunday night, devastating remote areas in mountainous provinces near the border with Pakistan. Chief Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on X Tuesday that 1,411 people were killed and 3,124 people were injured in the hard-hit province of Kunar alone. Another dozen people were killed and hundreds injured in neighbouring Nangarhar province. NDTV's Shubh Bhardwaj brings you the details.
