A powerful earthquake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale struck Afghanistan on Wednesday, sending shockwaves across the region. The quake, confirmed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), caused widespread panic, with residents rushing out of their homes in large numbers.
The tremors were felt in neighboring Pakistan and parts of North India, including Delhi, where frightened citizens also stepped out of buildings as a precaution. While the full extent of damage to life and property is yet to be officially reported, emergency teams have been mobilized, and rescue operations are currently underway in affected areas.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and further updates are expected as assessments continue.
