At least 19 people have been killed and more than 200 injured after a powerful earthquake shook large parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The 6.5-magnitude quake damaged buildings, triggered landslides and sent people running into the streets.
It struck on Tuesday evening, centred in a mountainous region in Afghanistan’s north-east near the border with Pakistan.
Tremors from the remote Jurm valley were felt as far away as India.
“It was a terrifying tremor. I had never felt such a tremor before in my life,” Kabul resident Khatera told AFP news agency after rushing out of her fifth-storey apartment.
Ten of the deaths were reported in Afghanistan. A child was among those killed in Laghman province near the country’s border with Pakistan, AFP reported.
There were nine other deaths in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in north-west Pakistan.
Many families had been out of their homes celebrating the Persian New Year or Nowruz when the quake hit.
The remoteness and rugged terrain mean that getting information about the extent of destruction or deaths in Afghanistan will take time. It is also likely to slow relief and rescue work.
But the damage found so far had been less than feared, emergency workers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa told AFP.
Swat district in the province is where most of the damage appears to have taken place in Pakistan. The dead and injured have been taken to local hospitals, while the main road has been blocked because of landslides.
Many in the affected regions braved near-freezing temperatures to sleep outside after the quake – fearing aftershocks. Some had dashed out of their homes barefoot when they felt the shaking.

The surgeons they did not leave their patient … respect
And yet people won't stop their greediness and stupidity
I understand this is an earthquake that killed many, but I can't help but wonder why the hell a van is inside the house. 1:12 Like not in a garage but a living room
Many of these shakers are shaking a little bit longer then their claiming. I come from earthquake area. Earthquake come through there moving pretty fast. These are hanging around.
Thank you for taking the time to compile these clips and share them with us.
Hope no quake in UK
Imagine waking after surgery to find you slept through that
there’s a lot of earthquakes and disasters happening lately 😟
Poor buggers. Pakistan is still getting over the floods. 300,000 plus people. They need food water meds. Musseys, falon gong, Christian’s in Chinese prison. Use them for body parts. Don’t even use any pain, knock out drugs, when taking there organs. Foreign correspondence. Aussie tv. Look also at history bites back on SBS. All indigenous peoples…continual mass deaths and persecution. Like in Canada with the bloody Catholic Church. Fn beep beep.Murdered kids
