KABUL – In a recent seismic event in Afghanistan’s Herat province, 13 individuals sustained injuries and were promptly transported to the hospital, according to Noor Gul Walizada, the head of the province’s regional hospital.
The United States Geological Survey reported the quake as having a magnitude of 5.0 and an epicenter depth of 10 km. It occurred at 11:57 p.m. local time on Saturday, followed by another 4.8-magnitude quake at 9:20 a.m. on Sunday, also in Herat.
Local authorities have confirmed a total of 13 injured individuals who were taken to the hospital as a result of the seismic activity. Additionally, property damage was reported by local residents.
These earthquakes come on the heels of a series of tremors that have rocked Herat, as well as the neighboring Badghis and Farah provinces, since October 7. These seismic events have led to numerous casualties and the destruction of thousands of residential homes in the affected regions.
