Deadly massive earthquake in the Hindu Kush Region, Afghanistan - At least 64 fatalities, hundreds injured

08:22 UTC : A massive deep earthquake struck the Hindu Kush region. Serious secondary damage is not to be excluded due to landslides.


08:35 UTC : USGS has just created his theoretical shaking maps and this looks very very bad. A vast area would have been exposed to a very strong shaking which will mean a lot of devastation. The yellow area on the map can be considered as extremely dangerous for damage, injuries and even fatalities.

Update 08:31 UTC : Normally these deep earthquakes are not generating a lot of damage up to a Magnitude of 7, but this earthquake is far more powerful and therefor we expected at least dome major secondary damage, mainly due to landslides



Update 10:26 UTC : New numbers have been given : at least 64 dead (52 in Pakistan en 12 in Afghanistan). Hundreds of people have been injured
Update 10:06 UTC : At least 30 people killed in Pakistan alone. 12 more in Afghanistan (12 schoolgirls have been killed in Afghan city of Talooqan trying to escape the earthquake, head of provincial disaster agency said.)

It appears to have been a massive earthquake in a remote area, and has terrible possiblities of landslides afterward.  Do hope it's not as bad as Napal.

More than 200 reported dead, terrible
