Another earthquake hit western Afghanistan on Sunday 15 October, just days after two other tremors hit the region, killing over 1,000 people.

Video shot on Monday 16 October showed what remained of buildings that had collapsed in the quake.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) says the magnitude 6.3 quake struck near the city of Herat at a depth of 6.3km (4 miles).

At least one person died, according to local health authorities. Another 100 are being treated for injuries in the regional hospital, the World Health Organisation said.

More than 90% of those who died in the earlier quakes were women and children, the UN's children agency Unicef said.

This footage was filmed and produced 16 October 2023.
