An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 was recorded at 20:28 UTC (23:28 Moscow time) 45 km east-southeast of the city of Mazar-i-Sharif. The outbreak is located at a depth of 10 km. The US Geological Survey issued an orange warning.
Previously, it was reported that the United States was facing a major earthquake due to a fault in the tectonic plate. Scientists fear that an earthquake in the Cascadia subduction zone, where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate is being subducted under the North American plate, “would be the biggest disaster in North American history.”
