Afghanistan Earthquake Update: 500 Dead, Thousands Injured as 6.0 Quake Tears | Rescue Ops Underway

A deadly 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan near Jalalabad, leaving hundreds feared dead and entire communities trapped under rubble. The quake hit shortly after midnight, followed by powerful aftershocks between 4.0 and 5.0 magnitudes that deepened the crisis. Rescue operations are underway but face severe challenges due to mountainous terrain and collapsed roads. Afghanistan’s location on the Indian–Eurasian fault line makes it one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to deadly quakes. #AfghanistanEarthquake #BreakingNews #Earthquake #Afghanistan #Jalalabad #Aftershocks #Disaster #GlobalNews #RescueOps #SeismicActivity Also Read Afghanistan Earthquake Kills Mostly Women and Children :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/afghanistan-earthquake-kills-mostly-women-and-children-gen-3658075.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~GR.122~PR.274~

Davey: Super-injunction was a cover-up

Sir Ed Davey accused Tories of letting down Afghans who supported British forces and protecting its ministers. It comes as a super-injunction blocking reporting about the “horrific” leak of data was lifted. The Ministry of Defence only became aware of the breach when excerpts from the dataset were posted anonymously on a Facebook group in August 2023, and a super-injunction was granted at the High Court in an attempt to prevent the Taliban from finding out about the leak.

'Choose Friendship’: Kabul’s First Reaction As Russia Becomes First To Recognize Taliban Government

In a historic and controversial move, Russia has become the first nation to officially recognise the Taliban government in Afghanistan. The announcement was met with cautious optimism on the streets of Kabul, where many Afghans are now urging neighboring powers like Iran, Pakistan, and India to “choose friendship” over continued conflict. Locals say the recognition brings hope for stability, economic revival, and an end to international isolation. “War brings only destruction. We want peace and cooperation,” said Ahmad Zia Popal, a Kabul resident. The Taliban, still sanctioned by the West and condemned for its human rights record—especially on women’s rights—called Russia’s decision “courageous” and a model for others. While global criticism looms, many ordinary Afghans see this as a turning point. Moscow’s move also raises geopolitical questions as it deepens its footprint in the region amid growing tensions with the West. #RussiaTaliban #TalibanRecognition #AfghanistanNews #KabulVoices #PutinTaliban #RussiaAfghanistanTies #Geopolitics #TalibanRule #AfghanPeople #RegionalPeace #IndiaPakistanAfghanistan #AfghanPeace #MiddleEastNews #IranTaliban #RussiaInAsia #GlobalDiplomacy #FriendshipNotWar #AfghanistanFuture #WorldNews #TalibanGovernment ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.152~
