New 5.2 quake hits Afghanistan as over 1,400 killed

A new 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck northeastern Afghanistan, worsening the crisis from Sunday’s 6.0 quake that killed over 1,400 people and injured more than 3,000. Most of the casualties were reported in Kunar province, according to Al Jazeera.

Rescue teams are struggling to reach survivors trapped under rubble in remote mountain villages, with damaged roads and broken communications slowing their efforts. Thousands remain without shelter, food, and medical care as aid workers race against time.
