Afghanistan Earthquake LIVE: Powerful 6.3 Magnitude Earthquake Leaves at least 20 Dead, 320 Injured

Rescue efforts captured in footage provided on Monday (November 3) by the Afghan Ministry of Defence showed military rescue teams digging through rubble and pulling the body of a young girl from the dirt, underscoring the human toll of the disaster after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake.

Photographs also showed heavy machinery being deployed to clear roads blocked by debris. Authorities said the quake has killed at least 20 people and injured about 320, with the death toll likely to rise.

Reuters was not able to independently verify the location and date of the images. However, the U.S. Geological Survey confirmed the quake near Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan early on Monday.

Afghanistan is particularly vulnerable to quakes as it lies on two active faults that have the potential to rupture and cause extensive damage. More than 2,200 people were killed and thousands more injured after a quake and strong aftershocks in the southeast of the war-shattered Islamic country at the end of August.
