阿富汗與巴基斯坦發生 5.8 級地震，造成 12 人死亡
On the night of Friday, April 3, 2026, a 5.8 magnitude earthquake struck the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan.
在2026年4月3日星期五的晚上，一場規模5.8的地震襲擊了阿富汗的興都庫什地區。
The tremor, occurring at 8:42 p.m. local time at a depth of 186 kilometers, sent shockwaves through Afghanistan, Pakistan, and parts of India.
這次震動發生於當地時間晚上8點42分，深度為186公里，震波波及阿富汗、巴基斯坦和印度部分地區。
Tragically, the event resulted in at least 12 fatalities, including eight members of a single refugee family whose home collapsed in the Bagrami district.
悲慘的是，這起事件造成了至少12人死亡，其中包括在巴格拉米區因房屋倒塌而喪命的一個難民家庭的八名成員。
While authorities reported four injuries, the structural damage was significant.
儘管當局報告了四人受傷，但結構性損壞相當嚴重。
According to the Afghanistan Disaster Management Authority, dozens of homes were impacted, with five destroyed and 33 severely damaged across provinces like Kabul, Logar, and Nangarhar.
根據阿富汗災害管理部門的報告，數十棟房屋受到影響，在喀布爾、洛加爾和楠格哈爾等省份，有五棟房屋被摧毀，33棟嚴重受損。
Afghanistan remains highly vulnerable to seismic activity due to its location in a mountainous region where tectonic plates collide.
由於阿富汗位於多山區且板塊碰撞，該國對地震活動仍然非常脆弱。
This event serves as a somber reminder of the ongoing geological risks faced by the region, distinct from previous seismic incidents like the 2019 earthquake in Kashmir.
此次事件令人遺憾地提醒人們，該地區正面臨持續的地質風險，這與之前如2019年克什米爾地震等地震事件不同。
