magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck western Afghanistan, hitting the same region where over 1,000 people lost their lives in tremors just a week prior. The quake, centered 33 kilometers northwest of Herat city, was followed by a 5.5 aftershock. Although no immediate casualties were reported, residents, already sleeping outside due to fear, remain on edge. The Taliban government, facing challenges in providing shelter and aid, grapples with the aftermath, while the affected population faces dire conditions in the wake of this natural disaster.
