More than 900 people have died—and officials say that toll may rise—and around 3,000 were injured in an earthquake that rocked eastern Afghanistan late Sunday evening. The 6.0-magnitude quake struck near the border with Pakistan, 27 km east-northeast of the city of Jalalabad, one of Afghanistan’s largest cities. With a depth of only 8 km (5 mi) according to the U.S. Geological Survey , the quake was more likely to be destructive due to the shorter travel distance to structures above ground.
