強震襲擊阿富汗與巴基斯坦，造成 12 人死亡
Strong Earthquake Hits Afghanistan and Pakistan, Leaving 12 Dead
2026年4月3日星期五，阿富汗巴達赫尚省的興都庫什山脈發生了芮氏規模5.8的地震。
On Friday, April 3, 2026, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan's Badakhshan province.
地震震源深度為186公里，造成12人不幸罹難，多人受傷。
The tremors, originating at a depth of 186 km, resulted in 12 confirmed deaths and several injuries.
令人悲慟的是，其中8名遇難者是一個剛從伊朗返鄉的難民家庭成員，他們位於喀布爾郊區的住家倒塌。
Tragically, eight of the victims were members of a single refugee family recently returned from Iran, whose home on the outskirts of Kabul collapsed.
由於歐亞板塊與印度板塊的碰撞，該地區向來以地震頻繁著稱。
This region is notoriously seismically active due to the collision of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates.
災難發生後，當局針對潛在的土石流和結構不穩發布了預警，鑑於該地區當時正遭受嚴重洪水和季節性暴雨侵襲，這些擔憂更顯嚴峻。
Following the disaster, authorities issued warnings about potential landslides and structural instability, a concern heightened by the fact that the region was already grappling with heavy flooding and seasonal storms.
這場悲劇再次提醒人們，該地區極易受到地震影響，且居住在未經加固建築中的社區長期面臨風險。
This specific tragedy serves as a somber reminder of the area's vulnerability to seismic events and the constant risk posed to communities living in non-reinforced structures.
