A significant earthquake, measuring 6.1 on theRichter scale, hits Afghanistan, causing ripples to be felt in neighboring countries India and Pakistan.

In a series of unfortunate events, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan on Thursday evening, according to the UAE's National Center of Meteorology (NCM). The tremors from this earthquake were felt in several cities across India and Pakistan, causing concern and uncertainty among the residents.

The earthquake occurred just days after a series of devastating quakes in Afghanistan, which have already claimed more than 2,200 lives and displaced thousands more. The affected villages in Afghanistan are yet to fully recover from the previous earthquakes, and this latest event has added to their plight.

The president of the National Center of Meteorology in the United Arab Emirates, who determined the earthquake's magnitude, is not explicitly named in the provided search results; therefore, this specific information is not available from the current sources.

As of the current reporting time, there are no immediate reports of casualties or significant damage from this latest earthquake. However, thousands more have been injured, and the number is expected to rise as more information becomes available.

The shaking was also felt in parts of India, specifically in New Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir. In Pakistan, the tremors were felt in several cities, including Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and various locations in the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces.

The aftermath of this earthquake is still unfolding, and the affected regions are bracing for potential challenges in the coming days. The international community is urged to provide aid and support to help those affected by these devastating earthquakes.

Stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by these earthquakes.
