A 4.3 magnitude quake shook southeastern Afghanistan on Friday evening, according to neighbouring Pakistan’s seismic recording agency.


Strong shaking was felt by witnesses in the Afghan capital, Kabul.


The quake was recorded at a depth of 120 kilometres by the National Seismic Monitoring Centre of Pakistan’s meteorological department in Islamabad.


It was not immediately clear whether it had caused any casualties or damage.


Afghanistan is in an earthquake-prone region and a 5.9 magnitude tremor in the east of the country killed over 1,000 people in June.
