Magnitude 4.7 Earthquake Strikes Eastern Afghanistan
A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan on Thursday morning, the US Geological Survey said.
The quake hit at about 9:40 a.m. local time, with its epicentre recorded east of Jalalabad at a depth of 13 kilometres, according to USGS data.
There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. Local sources in Kunar also confirmed the tremor.
The quake follows a magnitude 6 earthquake that struck the region five days earlier, which has since been followed by several aftershocks.
