A deadly Afghanistan earthquake measuring 6.3 struck late Sunday near Jalalabad in Nangarhar province, leaving at least 800 people dead and more than 1,300 injured. Villages were destroyed, homes collapsed, and rescuers worked through the night to reach remote areas. Officials said the shallow tremor caused severe damage and warned that the death toll could rise. Blocked roads have slowed relief operations.
Rescue Operations Underway
Rescue teams and doctors from nearby provinces have joined efforts as authorities rush to provide shelter and medical support for displaced families. Thousands have been left homeless, and officials are sending additional supplies and aid to the worst-affected areas.
