A few minutes later, at around 2.47 am, a 3.5 magnitude earthquake struck the Kishtwar region in Jammu and Kashmir.

Another earthquake of similar magnitude struck Afghanistan a few days ago on March 28. The 4.2 magnitude quake had struck at around 5.44 am IST.

Earlier in January, a 6.1 earthquake struck near Afghanistan and the tremors were felt in Delhi and adjoining areas.

Last year in October, thousands were killed or injured when a powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake shook western Afghanistan.
