A 5.7-magnitude quake has struck northeastern Afghanistan, the USGS repots. The resulting tremors were felt as far away as India’s capital New Delhi.
The epicenter of the quake was 11km south of the town of Mehtar Lam, the US Geological Survey reported. The city of Jalalabad, which has a population of more than 200,000, is also nearby, some 25km southwest of the epicenter.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The quake was estimated to have struck at a depth of 65km.
The quake zone lies near Afghanistan’s border with Pakistan. Tremors were felt in Pakistan’s capital Islamabad, some 300km east of the epicenter.
Pakistan’s meteorological department rated the earthquake’s magnitude higher, at 6.2 on the Richter scale.
The quake also shook regions further southeast, in India’s disputed province of Kashmir and in the capital New Dehli, Reuters reported.
