The earthquake killed 12 people in Pakistan and Afghanistan
Parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan were hit by a powerful earthquake that left at least 12 people dead and more than 200 injured.
The 6.5-magnitude earthquake forced residents to flee their homes by destroying structures and submerging dwellings.
The incident took place on Tuesday in the early hours of the day in the northeastern province of Laghman, close to the Pakistani border.
Several cities across the nation could hear the quake's sound.
"An unsettling earthquake occurred. In my life, I have never experienced an earthquake like this "a Kabul resident told AFP as she was exiting her five-story home.
In the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, nine deaths have been verified.
The other three victims, including a young kid, passed away in Afghanistan, according to the health ministry's spokeswoman.
When the earthquake struck, a large number of people were in the streets of the nation's cities celebrating the new year according to tradition.
The damage brought on by the earthquake, according to aid workers in the region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was less than anticipated.
