An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 rattled parts of northern and eastern Afghanistan and western Pakistan on Friday. Tremors were also felt in Islamabad and New Delhi.
In Kabul, Afghanistan, a house collapsed resulting in eight fatalities and injuries to one child. The three-year-old boy was the sole survivor of the collapse and is currently receiving hospital treatment.
Authorities are assessing the damage caused by the earthquake, a process that may be delayed due to the remoteness of the affected areas. The region has a history of devastating earthquakes, having experienced events that caused thousands of deaths in recent years.
