6.0 Earthquake Shakes Afghanistan, Border Drama Included
On Sunday night, eastern Afghanistan decided to throw a basement party at 6 miles deep, courtesy of a 6.0-magnitude earthquake 17 miles east-northeast of Jalalabad, Nangarhar province — right on the border with Pakistan. The USGS, sounding like that doomsayer friend at every party, warned that 'Significant casualties are likely and the disaster is potentially widespread.' Meanwhile, provincial officials are busy tallying the human cost, already reporting multiple deaths. The event couldn’t wait for Monday business hours, so this breaking news quakes its way into your feeds, demanding updates faster than your ex texting back.
