The most recent earthquake struck an area near Herat, the capital of Herat province, early on Wednesday morning, local time. The governor's office in Herat reported significant losses in districts near regions that had already been severely affected by earlier seismic events.
Reports indicate that at least 80 people have sustained injuries, and a landslide has obstructed the main Herat-Torghundi highway. Ministry of Information spokesperson Abdul Wahid Rayan provided this information, as reported by The Associated Press.
