A 5.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan which shook parts of northern India, including the national capital and Jammu and Kashmir on August 5 night.
The temblor hit the mountainous regions of Afghanistan at 9.31 p.m. and residents of the national capital region felt the tremors soon after.
"The quake hit twice at around 9.30 p.m.," said Preeti Shankar, who resides in a high-rise apartment in Noida on the eastern fringes of the national capital.
