There have been six causalities reported after a 5.3 magnitude earthquake jolted eastern Afghanistan on Monday.

The latest earthquake was felt in several provinces, including Kunar, Laghman, Nangarhar, and the capital Kabul.

The jolts were felt in several cities of Pakistan as well, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Mardan, Abbottabad, Swabi, Mohmand, Bajour, Buner and their adjacent areas
