According to Afghan authorities, the earthquake left  9,240 individuals injured, while 2,000 lost their lives.

Regrettably, the earthquake’s death toll remains alarmingly high, leaving Herat’s residents fearful and taking refuge in the streets. Meanwhile, Afghanistan Disaster Management Authority’s spokesperson, Mulla Janan Saeeq, expressed concerns about the potential for more casualties trapped beneath debris.

Furthermore, the American Seismological Center reported that the earthquake’s epicenter was located 40 kilometers northwest of Herat. Since the initial earthquake, there have been 8 powerful aftershocks that were also strongly felt.

It is worth noting that just last year in June, Eastern Afghanistan experienced a catastrophic earthquake, deemed the most perilous earthquake in two decades, claiming the lives of over 1,000 people and injuring around 1,500 others.
