Double Disaster: Afghanistan Shaken by Back-to-Back Deadly Earthquakes

TL;DR Summary
A 6.3 magnitude earthquake has struck western Afghanistan, near Herat province, just days after a series of deadly quakes killed over 2,400 people. Limited information is available about the immediate impact, but there have been reports of "huge losses" in districts near previously affected areas. At least 80 people have been injured, and a landslide has blocked a major highway. Rescue efforts have been hindered by poor infrastructure and a decline in foreign aid.
