At least 920 people have been killed and 600 injured after an earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan early on Wednesday, authorities said.
The 6.1 magnitude quake hit in Paktika province, causing scores of homes to collapse and landslides.
The quake struck about 27 miles from the south-eastern city of Khost shortly after 1.30am local time when many people were asleep in their beds.
Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada said hundreds of houses were destroyed and the death toll was likely to rise.
His deputy minister for disaster management Sharafuddin Muslim told a news conference that at least 920 people had been killed and a further 600 injured.
Images showed destroyed stone houses, with residents searching through clay bricks and other rubble for survivors.
Victims were carried into helicopters to be airlifted to hospital from remote areas.
