Bangobarta Bureau, KABUL
A powerful earthquake has struck Afghanistan, causing heavy devastation and leaving more than 600 people dead. The quake, which hit the region recently, has resulted in extensive damage to homes and infrastructure, particularly in rural areas.
Rescue teams have been deployed to the affected regions, but their efforts are being hampered by the difficult terrain and damaged roads. The death toll is feared to rise as emergency services work to reach remote villages and pull victims from the rubble.
International aid organizations have offered support, and the government is assessing the full scale of the disaster to provide urgent relief to those affected. The incident marks one of the most significant natural calamities to hit the country in recent times.
