In a desert area bordering Iran and Afghanistan, a 7.2 earthquake had hit on Wednesday, January 19. Initially it has said to have been only 10 km in depth, but it turned out to be 84 km underground which limited the effects. The earthquake was felt in neighboring areas, some shaking will continue with some moderate damages. This earthquake came after a devastating flood during the 2010 monsoon as well as batteling Taliban militants from different tribal parts.
