The earthquake hit hardest in <strong data-start=\"1000\" data-end=\"1033\">Kunar and Nangarhar provinces<\/strong>, where entire villages were flattened, leaving families trapped under rubble and emergency services overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1148\" data-end=\"1406\">The tremor struck just after midnight, catching many residents in their sleep. In the remote mountainous regions, many mud-brick homes collapsed instantly, leading to massive casualties. The number of deaths is expected to rise as rescue operations continue.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1456\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rural_Villages_Destroyed_in_Seconds\"><\/span><strong data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1456\">Rural Villages Destroyed in Seconds<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1458\" data-end=\"1697\">Remote areas were hit the hardest.
