The quake was centered at 35.669°N, 67.653°E and struck at a depth of about 10km on April 18, 2010 at 20:28:50 UTC. The Moderators expected some casualties as a result of the quake, but there was no immediate news of casualties or damage available initially.
“The villages were destroyed and the local routes were blocked from slipping mountain rocks on to the roads,” said Hajji Ghulam Sakhi Baghlani, the provincial assistant governor, UPI reported.
The death toll could rise as more people could be buried under the rubble of collapsed buildings, he said.
According to another report hundreds of livestock had perished as a result of the quake which also left 300 homes damaged.
The area where this quake occurred is close to Afghanistan’s Hindu Kush Mountains, which is earthquake-prone. NATO bombardment in the region, past and present, could trigger more violent quakes.

About 40 Villagers in eastern Afghanistan were killed and at least 50 others injured after a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck Hindu Kush region at a shallow depth of about 5.7 km. The mainshock was followed by a 5.1 Mw aftershock about two hours later.
About 500 livestock were also killed by the quake, which reduced more than 200 houses to rubble in Sherzad province.
Up to 100,000 people were killed and as many as 5 million were displaced when a magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck northwest Pakistan and Kashmir in October 2005.
The quakes hit overnight the districts of Khogyani and Sherzad in Nangarhar province near the Pakistan border. Photo: AFP. Image may be subject to copyright.
