At least 11 people were killed and more than 70 injured when an earthquake shook parts of northern Afghanistan, officials say

The Samangan province deputy governor said the quake hit just before midnight local time on Sunday.

Samangan is 190km (120 miles) north-west of the capital Kabul and the same distance from Mazar-e-Sharif city.

The 5.7 magnitude quake occurred at a depth of 10km, the US Geological Survey reported.

It was felt in Kabul and the neighbouring countries of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, the Associated Press news agency reported.
