Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox earthquake The 2005 Hindu Kush earthquake hit northeastern Afghanistan with a magnitude of 6.5 on December 12 at 21:47 (UTC). According to the United States Geological Survey's ShakeMap and Did You Feel It? products, the maximum Mercalli intensity was V (Moderate) at Chitral. Five people were killed in the Hindu Kush region and landslides blocked several roads near Bagh, Kashmir.[1] The earthquake occurred some 65 miles away from Faizabad, a city in the Hindu Kush mountains,[2] but it could be felt in many neighboring areas.[3] It could even be felt about 200 miles away in Islamabad, Pakistan.[2] The quake was strong enough to trigger panic among survivors of October's devastating earthquake, who came out from their makeshift shelters in freezing temperatures.[4] Although magnitude-6 earthquakes typically cause severe damage, this quake caused relatively little due to the fact that it occurred deep underground (Шаблон:Convert).[2]
