Another earthquake rocks Afghanistan. What makes the country so vulnerable to temblors?
A 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck near Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan, causing at least 20 deaths and injuring 150 people. The quake damaged the famous Blue Mosque in Mazar-e Sharif, with debris scattered across the site. Afghanistan's frequent earthquakes are due to its location over multiple fault lines, including the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates.
