The death toll from Sunday night’s powerful earthquake in eastern Afghanistan has climbed to 1,411, officials confirmed. The 6.0-magnitude quake also left more than 3,000 people injured, with Kunar province among the hardest hit, Al Jazeera reported.

Rescue teams are racing to find survivors, but access to remote mountain villages remains difficult as roads and communications are cut off. Aid workers warn that many victims are still trapped under rubble.

Afghanistan lies in a quake-prone region, with frequent tremors in the Hindu Kush Mountains where the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates meet.
