Afghanistan has been hit by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake, its third in a week.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said it was at a depth of 10km and affected the same region as last week’s earthquakes, which killed almost 2,500 people.
It hit the Herat province, north of the city of Herat – the same region as the last quakes.
No other details were available in the immediate aftermath.
On Wednesday, at least 80 people were injured in the 6.3 magnitude earthquake which also hit rural parts of Herat province.
A landslide blocked the main Herat-Toghondi motorway, according to an information ministry spokesman, while 700 homes have been levelled in Chahak village.
Nobody has died, according to initial reports, as people in Chahak had taken shelter in tents this week, fearing further tremors after Saturday’s earthquake rocked Herat.
