A strong earthquake shook Afghanistan Saturday afternoon, just past noon India time. The National Center for Seismology measured it at 5.8 on the Richter scale. People felt the ground move across northern India, through Kashmir, all the way to Delhi. Officials found the source deep underground at specific coordinates with a depth of 130 kilometers. Nothing reported damage or injuries, but authorities watched carefully.
The center shared news about this quake through the social media platform X. This earthquake comes after another one hit earlier this week. On Wednesday, Afghanistan experienced a 5.6-magnitude earthquake with its center east of Baghlan. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre first called it a 6.4 magnitude. They later changed their measurement down to 5.6 after more data came in.
