5.2 Magnitude Earthquake Strikes Afghanistan's Hindu Kush Region
A 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan's Hindu Kush region on Sunday at a depth of 190 km, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre, which revised its initial 5.8 magnitude estimate. The deep-focus seismic event is typical for the tectonically active area where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide. No immediate reports of casualties or damage have been confirmed, and local authorities are monitoring the situation in the remote mountainous region.
