Tremors were felt across more than 500km of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, according to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre, quoted by Reuters.

The centre said that witnesses had reported feeling the quake in Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, as well as Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad.

“Unfortunately, last night there was a severe earthquake in four districts of Paktika province, which killed and injured hundreds of our countrymen and destroyed dozens of houses,” government spokesman Bilal Karimi tweeted.

We urge all aid agencies to send teams to the area immediately to prevent further catastrophe.”

The earthquake – which hit during the early hours as many people slept – was a magnitude 6.1 quake at a depth of some 51 km, according to the US Geological Survey.
