A recent 6.3-magnitude earthquake near Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan, killed at least seven people and injured around 150, following strong quakes months earlier that killed over 2,200. Afghanistan's location at the convergence of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates makes it one of the world's most tectonically active regions.

• Since 1990, at least 355 earthquakes with a magnitude higher than 5.0 have struck Afghanistan.
• The worst recent quake was a magnitude 6 in 2022 that killed 1,000 people.
• Recommendations for resilience include building earthquake-resistant structures, retrofitting existing ones, and creating better monitoring systems.
