An earthquake with a magnitude reported between 6.0 and 6.2 strikes Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush region, with tremors felt across north India. Reports from multiple outlets describe the quake occurring in northeastern Afghanistan and specify magnitudes ranging from 6.0 (NDTV) to 6.2 (Times of India and Deccan Chronicle), while The Hindu cites a 6.1 magnitude. Several sources also note that shaking is felt in India, including Delhi and the Delhi-NCR area. The exact impact within Afghanistan is not confirmed in the initial reports. Deccan Chronicle and other coverage state there are no immediate reports of casualties or damage. NDTV further reports that preliminary information does not confirm whether tremors are also felt in parts of neighboring Afghanistan and Iran beyond the initial region. Across the reports, there is no consistent, verified information on injuries, structural damage, or a definitive epicentre or depth in the early stage, and the focus remains on the magnitude estimates and the extent of tremors felt in India.
