Earthquakes in northern Afghanistan

The 2002 Hindu Kush earthquakes struck northern Afghanistan, with the two most destructive events occurring in March. At least 169 people were killed during a very large and intermediate-depth Mw 7.4 event on March 3. Three weeks later, at least 1,200 were killed during a moderate but shallow Mw 6.1 event that had a maximum Mercalli intensity of VII.
