6.2-magnitude earthquake rocks Afghanistan

A strong 6.2-magnitude earthquake rocked Afghanistan, the US Geological Survey says, sending people rushing outside and creating tremors felt as far away as Pakistan’s capital Islamabad.

The quake struck at 1041 GMT near Afghanistan’s northern border with Tajikistan in the Hindu Kush mountains at a depth of 111 kilometers (69 miles), the USGS says.
