India, Sept. 4 -- A magnitude 6.2 earthquake struck southeastern Afghanistan, on Thursday, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) said. The quake was at a depth of 10 km (6.21 miles), GFZ said.

This comes four days after another earthquake of magnitude 6 unleashed widespread damage and destruction in the provinces of Kunar and Nangarhar, when it struck at a shallow depth of 10 km (6 miles).

The previous earthquake, which struck Afghanistan late Sunday (11:40 pm local time) killed at least 2,200 people so far as the rescue operations continue.
