A moderate earthquake measured 5.8-magnitude Monday morning shocked parts of Afghanistan including the capital city Kabul.

The quake struck at around 8:08 a.m. local time (0338 GMT) and the center was in Badakhshan province, 276 kilometers northeast of Kabul with a magnitude of 5.8 on Richter scale, according to the United States Geological Survey.

However, officials in Faizabad, the provincial capital of Badakhshan, said no report has been received on loss of life so far from districts.
