Afghan quake victims buried on mountain top as aftershocks continue

A recent earthquake in eastern Afghanistan resulted in over 800 fatalities. The initial quake had a magnitude of 6.0 and was succeeded by another with a magnitude of 5.2 the following day. In the aftermath, some victims were reportedly buried on a mountaintop due to challenging terrain that made it difficult to retrieve their bodies.
