A powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck northern Afghanistan overnight killed more than 20 people and injured around 320, the health ministry said Monday.
In the Balkh and Samangan provinces “around 320 countrymen have been injured and more than 20 have been killed,” ministry spokesman Sharafat Zaman said in a video message shared with journalists, specifying that this was a preliminary toll.
