A powerful earthquake has struck northern Afghanistan, with tremors felt as widely as Pakistan and northern India.
The quake had a magnitude of 7.7, the US Geological survey reported, and was centred in the mountainous Hindu Kush region, 45km (28 miles) south-west of Jarm.
In Pakistan, local news channels showed people evacuating office buildings.
There have been no reports so far of casualties.
A BBC correspondent in the Pakistani city of Lahore said phone lines were down following the quake.
People in the Indian capital Delhi ran into the streets after the tremor struck, witnesses said.
