An earthquake of 4.6 magnitude struck Afghanistan late Saturday night, according to a statement from the National Center for Seismology (NCS). The earthquake occurred at a depth of 82 kilometers. Earlier in the day, another earthquake of magnitude 4.5 struck the same region at a depth of 130 km. According to the Red Cross, earthquakes occur frequently in Afghanistan, especially in the Hindu Kush region, which is located in a highly active seismic zone. The earthquake risk in Afghanistan is linked to its geographical location in the collision zone of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
