Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: A strong 6.1-magnitude earthquake shook the border region between Afghanistan and Tajikistan on Sunday, March 14.
According to reports from the German Geosciences Research Center (GFZ), the earthquake occurred at 8:54 a.m. local time and at a depth of 237 kilometers (177 miles).
Given the depth of the earthquake, there is a possibility that the intensity of the tremors will decrease at the surface, and no reports of casualties or damage have been released so far. The area is located in an earthquake-prone area that has seen severe earthquakes in the past.
Local authorities are assessing the situation in the affected areas and relief teams are on standby. Experts are also trying to provide a detailed assessment of the possible effects of the earthquake on various border areas and its impact on infrastructure.
The Afghanistan-Tajikistan border region is prone to major earthquakes due to its specific geographical location and has witnessed severe earthquakes in the past.
These earthquakes, which are caused by tectonic activity in the area, can cause widespread damage. However, there have been no reports of human casualties or serious damage so far.
Relief teams and local authorities are still monitoring the situation and hope that no serious incidents will occur.
