Death toll from Afghanistan earthquake reaches 1,000: Official
2022-06-23
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The corpse count from an overnight earthquake in Afghanistan has reached at least 1,000, an official from one of the worst-hit provinces said Wednesday.

"The number is increasing. People are digging grave after grave," Mohammad Amin Huzaifa, head of the Information and Culture Department in Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
, said in a message to journalists.

The quake shook parts of eastern Afghanistan and parts of Pakistain during the early hours of Wednesday, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.

The quake struck about 44 km (27 miles) from the city of Khost in southeastern Afghanistan and was at a depth of 51km (31 miles), according to the USGS.
