An earthquake of 4.9 on Saturday evening swung Afghanistan, said the National Center for Seismology (NCS).
According to the NCS, the earthquake took place at a shallow depth of 10 km, so it was susceptible to shocks.

At the beginning of the 13th August, the region at a depth of 10 km was hit by another earthquake of 4.2.
Shallow earthquake is generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because seismic waves of shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance for the road to the surface, resulting in stronger fraying of the Earth and potentially greater damage to structures and greater victims.
The UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) in Afghanistan noted that the country remains very vulnerable by natural disasters, including seasonal floods, landslides and earthquakes.
