6.3 magnitude earthquake shakes part of western Afghanistan where earlier quake

Another strong earthquake shook part of western Afghanistan on Wednesday morning after an earlier quake killed more than 2,000 and flattened whole villages.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the latest 6.3-magnitude earthquake was about 28 kilometers outside Herat, the capital of Herat province, and 10 kilometers deep.
The epicenter of Saturday’s quake was about 40 kilometers northwest of the provincial capital, and several aftershocks have been strong, including another 6.3 magnitude Saturday.
Taliban officials said more than 2,000 had died across Herat after the earlier quakes. They subsequently said the quakes killed and injured thousands but didn’t give a breakdown of casualties.
Information on casualties and damage from the latest tremor was not immediately available from authorities. But there is little left of the villages in the region’s dusty hills besides rubble and funerals.
