"The deeper an earthquake is the less likely it is to cause damage. This quake... is not likely to cause too much damage although it is possible" - Don Blakeman, USGS.

The tremor was felt as far away as the Indian capital, Delhi. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The quake was centred about 105km southeast of Faizabad in Afghanistan's Badakhshan province.
