Within a week, Afghanistan experienced its second earthquake. On June 22, a 6.1 magnitude earthquake hit the eastern Paktika province, resulting in the death of at least 1,000 people and more than 1,500 injuries.

The recent earthquakes have caused extensive damage and displacement in Afghanistan, leading the government to request international aid for relief efforts.
