Magnitude 6.3 earthquake shakes western Afghanistan where earlier temblor killed 2,000

LA Times  

Afghans bury hundreds of people killed in an earthquake in Herat province in western Afghanistan. Another strong earthquake shook western Afghanistan on Wednesday morning after a weekend temblor killed more than 2,000 people and flattened whole villages in Herat province. Wednesday’s magnitude 6.3 earthquake was about 17 miles outside Herat, the provincial capital, and six miles deep, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The aid group Doctors Without Borders said the Herat regional hospital received 117 injured from Wednesday’s temblor. Many said they have no peace of mind inside the tents for fear the “ground will open and swallow us at any moment.” The epicenter of Saturday’s quake — also of the same magnitude, 6.3 — was about 25 miles northwest of the provincial capital, and several aftershocks have been strong.
