# More than 800 people are known to have died and at least two-thousand injured in the 6.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Afghanistan’s mountainous eastern border region on Monday. The quake struck at a depth of eight kilometres, making it more destructive. Worst-hit are the Nangarhar and Kunar provinces, but shakes were felt in neighbouring provinces, as well as in Kabul and in neighbouring Pakistan’s capital Islamabad. The UN agency Ocha said details are still emerging about the full extent of the destruction, but it believes as many as 12-thousand people are impacted.
