A 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit eastern Afghanistan late Sunday night, devastating entire villages. Thousands are believed to have been killed or injured with hundreds still feared trapped under the rubble. The quake’s epicenter was in the mountainous eastern province of Kunar, over 100 miles from the capital, Kabul. William Brangham reports.
