More than 600 killed in Afghanistan quake, Taliban interior ministry says

AFGHANISTAN: More than 600 people are feared dead after a magnitude 6.0 earthquake hits eastern Afghanistan, the Taliban interior ministry reports

The quake, at a shallow depth of 8km (6 miles), shook buildings from Kabul to Pakistan’s capital Islamabad – here’s what we know so far

The remote area where it struck makes providing accurate estimates hard, as officials warn of high casualty figures

Dozens of houses are “under rubble”, sources from the Taliban government say, while officials report entire villages being destroyed

Locals tell us that landslides have cut off areas near the epicentre, meaning it will take a long time to fully assess the damage, reports Yogita Limaye from Kabul
