Another magnitude 6.3 earthquake has occurred in Afghanistan. Early reports indicate an additional death has been recorded along with 120 injuries. Fewer people were injured because many have been sleeping in tents fearful as the aftershocks have continued. More structures in the region were damaged in this earthquake which additionally triggered a landslide that blocked the main Herat-Towrgondi highway.
