chrystal 1,256 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Earthquake on Afghan-Tajik border shakes cities http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-36009407 (BBC updates above link as more news comes in) A magnitude 6.6 earthquake has been felt across a number of major cities across south-west Asia. The earthquake struck in Afghanistan, close to its border with Tajikistan, at 10:28 GMT, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). There are reports the tremor was felt in Kabul, Lahore and in Delhi, forcing residents to leave their homes. In October 2015, a magnitude-7.5 quake in the same border area killed close to 300 people. The latest quake, in what is a sparsely-populated mountainous region, struck at a depth of 210km, the USGS reported. It was the same depth as the 2015 quake. In Delhi, the metro train system was temporarily halted. The BBC's Sanjoy Majumder said a number of aftershocks were felt in the Indian capital.
