People in Afghanistan were searching into Monday night for survivors following a 6.0-magnitude earthquake that killed more than 800 people and wounded nearly 2,800 others a day earlier.
A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan near the border with Pakistan on Sunday night, killing more than 800 people, wounding over 2,800 others and causing significant damage to villages in the mountainous region, Taliban officials said.
The big picture: The quake struck at 11:47pm local time some 17 miles east-northeast of the city of Jalalabad in Nangarhar province, with a depth of about six miles, per the U.S. Geological Survey.
