A powerful aftershock rattled southeastern Afghanistan on Sept. 2, triggering fears of fresh casualties after an earthquake killed 1,400 people and injured thousands more.

The aftershock of 5.2 magnitude was close to the epicenter of the Aug. 31 quake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It occurred at a depth of six miles, the same level as Sunday’s quake.
