A powerful earthquake occurs in Afghanistan.

An earthquake in northeastern Afghanistan on Tuesday evening was felt all the way to New Delhi, with city residents in some parts of India and Pakistan fleeing their buildings in fear they might collapse. The US Geological Survey (USGS) pinpointed the quake's epicenter as 187 kilometers (116 miles) under the surface, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) south-southeast of Jurm in Afghanistan. The shaking reportedly went on for at least 30 seconds, and "earthquake" quickly began trending on all social networks. At least two people died and hundreds were injured in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, along the border with Afghanistan, according to local media. In India, the quake prompted the National Disaster Management Authority to tweet out safety tips, and the New Delhi police to check in on the capital's residents. Tuesday evening's earthquake was stronger than the 5.9 magnitude tremor that struck Afghanistan's Paktika province last June, killing more than 1,000 people and displacing tens of thousands.
