Shehbaz Sharif, Pakistan’s Prime Minister, expressed regret over last night’s earthquake in Balkh and Samangan provinces.
Mr. Sharif offered condolences to victims’ families and wished speedy recovery for the injured.
This message of sympathy was sent while the 6.3 magnitude earthquake in northern Afghanistan last night left more than 20 dead and 300 injured.
The earthquake, which occurred at a depth of 28 kilometers underground, caused significant damage to historic buildings including the Blue Mosque of Mazar-i-Sharif.
The Pakistani Prime Minister’s response demonstrates regional solidarity in the face of natural disasters and emphasizes human relations beyond political borders.
