Earthquake of magnitude 3.9 strikes Afghanistan; third since June 28
According to the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 15 km, making it susceptible to aftershocks ANI Asia An earthquake of magnitude 3.9 struck Afghanistan on Wednesday, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said. According to the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 15 km, making it susceptible to aftershocks. In a post on X, the NCS stated, "EQ of M: 3.9, On: 02/07/2025 00:44:52 IST, Lat: 36.63 N, Long: 71.38 E, Depth: 15 Km, Location: Afghanistan." Earlier on June 30, another earthquake of magnitude 4.9 jolted Afghanistan. In a post on X, NCS wrote, "EQ of M: 4.9, On: 30/06/2025 08:02:35 IST, Lat: 36.77 N, Long: 71.13 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Afghanistan." Earlier, on June 28, another earthquake of magnitude 4.3 struck the region at a depth of 120 km. In a post on X, the NCS said, "EQ of M: 4.3, On: 28/06/2025 20:01:13 IST, Lat: 36.37 N, Long: 71.06 E, Depth: 120 Km, Location: Afghanistan." Shallow earthquakes like this one are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface. This causes stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes, which lose energy as they travel to the surface. Afghanistan has a history of powerful earthquakes, and the Hindu Kush Mountain range is a geologically active area where quakes occur every year, according to the Red Cross. Afghanistan sits on numerous fault lines between the Indian and the Eurasian tectonic plates, with a fault line also running directly through Herat. Its location on several active fault lines along the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates makes it a seismically active region. These plates meet and collide, causing frequent seismic activity. As per the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), Afghanistan remains highly vulnerable to natural disasters, including seasonal flooding, landslides and earthquakes. These frequent earthquakes in Afghanistan cause damage to vulnerable communities, which are already grappling with decades of conflict and underdevelopment and have left them with little resilience to cope with multiple simultaneous shocks, UNOCHA noted.

House on fire, no one reacts: Indian expat calls out US neighbourhood culture
Jul 02, 2025 06:39 AM IST An Indian man living in the US shared his shock after a house in his neighbourhood caught fire, and according to him none of the neighbours seemed to care. His viral video sparked a debate about community values and empathy. An Indian man's video on a neighbourhood in the USA during a house fire has gone viral. (Instagram/@nitishadvitiy) The video opens with a text insert that reads, 'In the US, neighbours don't care about each other.' In the video, the man goes on to explain that a house in his neighbourhood caught fire, and the fire department immediately responded. He continues that what baffled him was the reaction of the neighbours, who, as per him, didn't even come out of their house to ask about the well-being of the individual whose house was on fire. Take a look at the video: How did social media react? The video sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some talked about community and neighbourhood in India, others argued that the situation in the USA is better than in India.

Unlike in India where everyone likes to poke their nose into others' lives.' A fourth wrote, 'Cause they mind their own business.'
