Second earthquake hits Afghan city of Jalalabad | BBC News


A fresh 5.2-magnitude aftershock has struck eastern Afghanistan.

It comes two days after a powerful quake in the same region killed more than 1,400 people and injured more than 3,000 others, according to the Taliban government.

Helicopters have been deployed to aid the search for survivors in the ruins of remote villages, where many are feared trapped under the rubble.

The Taliban government – which is only recognised by Russia – has appealed for international help. The UN has released emergency funds, while the UK has pledged £1m ($1.3m) in aid.
