An earthquake of magnitude 5.7 hit Ashkasham in northern Afghanistan. Its epicentre was 28 kilometres away from Ashkasham at a depth of 255 kilometres inside the earth. This was an activity happening around the second layer of the earth, i.e. mantle. There is no news of any damage due to this at the moment. But the 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck in October last year caused massive destruction in the Taliban-ruled country. Many people were killed. The tremors of the earthquake that struck Afghanistan today were felt in many parts of North India including Jammu and Kashmir and Delhi.
