A powerful 6.0 magnitude earthquake has struck eastern Afghanistan, killing at least 255 people.
The tremors occurred in the early hours, destroying at least 90 homes in Paktika province with rescuers desperately searching for survivors after arriving by helicopter.
The international community has largely left Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover of the country last year, which will likely complicate any relief efforts for this country of 38million.
