According to USGS, the epicenter of the earthquake has been recorded 8 kilometers below the ground, 27 kilometers northeast of Jalalabad. This earthquake occurred at 12:47 am on Sunday-Monday night. Apart from Afghanistan, tremors were also felt in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan.

The effect of the earthquake was felt in Delhi NCR. Many people ran out of their homes due to the sudden shaking of the earth at midnight. There was an atmosphere of panic among the people. However, the earthquake tremors in Delhi NCR were mild compared to Afghanistan, due to which there was no loss of life or property.
Why do earthquakes occur?
Let us tell you that tectonic activities are very active in the Hindukush mountain region. Due to the shifting of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, earthquakes are often felt in this region. Earlier on August 2, an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 had occurred in this area, whose epicentre was recorded 87 kilometres below the ground. On August 6, an earthquake of magnitude 4.2 was felt here.
