The Taliban has confirmed that at least 10 people were injured after an earthquake struck eastern Gaya🌠n district in Pakti🎃ka province.
Abdul Wahid Rayan, director 💛of Bakhtar, Taliban's news agency, said the quake in the remote area happened late Monday a🌊fternoon.
On Monday, the US Geological🦹 Survey reported a magnitude 5.1 ꧅quake near Khost.
Monday's quake happened in the same area as a powerful q𓆏uake last month in eastern Afghanistan, igniting yet another crisis for the struggling country and further underscoring the Taliban's limited capabilities and isolation.
The Taliban re🍬ported 1,150 dead in that quake. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of🍌 Humanitarian Affairs put the death toll at 770 people.
Overstretched a🌃id groups already keeping✨ millions of Afghans alive had rushed supplies to victims of the June quake, but most countries responded tepidly to Taliban calls for international help.
The international cut-off of Afghanistan's financing has deepened the country's economic collapse and fuelled its 🙈humanitarian crises.
