A look at Afghanistan's latest quake, and the devastation it caused
As authorities scramble to rescue survivors, here is a look at what happened, and the devastation the tremors caused. The epicentre of the 6.0 magnitude quake, which occurred at 11:47 p.m. local time (1917 GMT) at a depth of 10 km (6 miles), lay near the eastern city of Jalalabad - among the five largest cities in Afghanistan, and the capital of Nangarhar province. Tremors were also felt in other South Asian countries, including neighbouring Pakistan and India.
