At least 13 people were injured after another earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan's Nangarhar province on Thursday night, provincial director for Information and Culture, Qureshi Badlon, said Friday.
According to the official, all the injured persons were from Dara-i-Noor district, although the quake struck several districts including the provincial capital Jalalabad, News.Az reports, citing Xinhua.
