The first and largest occurred at 12:11 pm (+5:30 GMT) at a depth of 14 kilometers and 33 kilometers from the town of Zindah Jan in Herat province, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four consecutive aftershocks of magnitude 5.5, 4.7, 6.3, and 5.9 followed within an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth earthquake, also of magnitude 6.3, was recorded at a depth of about ten kilometers and at a distance of about 29 kilometers from Zindah Jan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The USGS recorded two more shocks nearly an hour later in Herat province, 4.8 and 4.9, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afghanistan is one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters because it is located in the Hindu Kush mountain range, a point of great seismic activity and a common point of origin for telluric movements in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Afghanistan has a very vulnerable, mostly poor population, in addition to lacking sufficient infrastructure to deal with disasters such as floods or earthquakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In late June 2022, a similar 5.9-magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan&#8217;s eastern Paktika and Khost provinces, bordering Pakistan, killed more than a thousand people and injured about 1,500, in addition to destroying hundreds of homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afghanistan also suffered one of its worst earthquake disasters in 1998 in the north of the country, when two earthquakes measuring 5.9 and 6 struck in February, killing some 4,000 people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few months later, at the end of May, another earthquake with a magnitude of 7 struck the area again, killing about 5,000 people.
