A strong earthquake hit western Afghanistan Wednesday, affecting the same area where an earthquake four days ago killed more than 2,000 people.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the center of the magnitude 6.3 earthquake Wednesday was about 28 kilometers northwest of the city of Herat.
There were no immediate reports of deaths from the new quake, which hit as relief and search efforts were still ongoing in the region from Saturday’s earthquake.
Many people have spent the week sleeping outside because of fear of home collapses.
Some information for this report came from The Associated Press, Agence France-Presse and Reuters
