An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 struck southeastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, two days after a major earthquake in northern Afghanistan killed at least 1,400 people and caused widespread damage. The epicentre of the quake was 34 kilometres (21 miles) northeast of Jalalabad city in Nangarhar province. A 6.0-magnitude quake struck late Sunday night in several provinces, flattening villages and leaving people trapped under the rubble of homes constructed mostly of mud bricks and wood, unable to withstand the shock. n18oc_crux
