Kabul, Afghanistan ? An earthquake shook northern Afghanistan on Friday morning, killing more than 30 people and injuring about 100 others, aid officials said.

The quake, which struck at 8:30 am (0400 GMT), had a magnitude of 5.8, according to the U.S.-based National Earthquake Information Center. It was located near the site of a devastating March 25 quake that killed up to 1,000 people and left tens of thousands homeless.

Most of the casualties Friday occurred in the village of Doabi, 140 kilometers (90 miles) northeast of the capital, Kabul, said Hugues Belloc, an official with the French aid group ACTED.

“Many buildings collapsed and a lot of people were buried under the rubble,” Belloc said by satellite phone from nearby Pul-i-Khumri.

Another defense official in the region, Gen. Khalil, said officials had reported at least two people dead and six others injured in Nahrin, 55 kilometers (35 miles) to the west and the site of the 6.1-magnitude March 25 quake. Like many Afghans, he uses only one name.

Friday’s quake was the third to strike northern Afghanistan since March 3. That quake measured 7.2 and was the strongest in the Hindu Kush mountain region since 1983.

Many people in Nahrin are still living in tents after the March 25 quake.

Ahmad Shouab, aide to a local commander in Pul-i-Khumri, said several shops and buildings collapsed in the Friday quake.

The French aid group Medicines Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Borders, sent two medical teams to the area from the northern city of Kunduz, U.N. spokeswoman Rebecca Richards said.

Another team carrying U.N. and other aid officials left Kabul by helicopter Friday to assess the situation, Richards said.

She said the quake had struck hard in Doabi and a nearby village but had no other details.

Friday’s quake was felt in Kabul, but there were no reports of damage there.

It also shook the Tajik capital of Dushanbe and the Pakistan border city of Peshawar. No casualties or destruction were reported in these cities.

Northern Afghanistan is at the heart of a desperately poor region already suffering the effects of years of drought and war.
