A magnitude 6 earthquake has hit eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border, killing more than 800 people, according to the Taliban-run government there. Several villages have been “completely destroyed.

It struck a number of towns in the Afghan province of Kunar at 11.47pm local time. Villages in Afghanistan are built from mud and local stone, using traditional techniques that haven’t changed for hundreds of years. Unfortunately this offers very little protection against earthquakes and the villages near the epicentre were mainly flattened.
