While the earthquake occurred at a significant depth, which typically reduces surface-level damage, experts have advised caution due to the possibility of aftershocks. Afghanistan’s position along tectonic plate boundaries makes it susceptible to seismic activity, and recent events have heightened awareness of the region’s vulnerability.
As of now, there have been no reports of casualties or significant damage. Local authorities and international agencies are monitoring the situation closely to provide assistance if necessary.
Residents in affected areas are advised to stay informed through official channels and to follow safety protocols in the event of aftershocks.
