In Afghanistan, over 600 people have been killed by an earthquake. A further 1,500 have so far been reported injured.
Officials say the magnitude 6 – quake struck the mountainous region near the city of Jalalabad. The military has been deployed to help rescue people from remote villages that have been badly affected.
