Strong earthquake tremors lasting for several seconds were felt in many parts of north India, including the Delhi-National Capital Region on Tuesday night.

The 6.8 magnitude earthquake –with the epicentre in Afghanistan –also shook Pakistan, killing at least nine people in the country and injuring over 160 others. Three persons were also killed in Afghanistan.

Television footage showed panic-stricken citizens out on the streets. A video showing a TV anchor delivering news despite the studio shaking violently due to the earthquake in Pakistan has gone viral on social media. A user tweeted: “Pashto TV channel Mahshriq TV during the earthquake. Bravo anchor continued his live program in the ongoing earthquake.”
