June 27 (Reuters) - A strong earthquake struck Afghanistan's Hindu Kush region on Saturday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre said, sending out tremors that could be felt from the capital Kabul across the border into neighbouring Pakistan.
There were no immediate official reports of casualties or damage from the earthquake, but checks were ongoing, the Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority said in a statement.
The magnitude 6 quake occurred at a depth of 100 km (62 miles), EMSC said.
A magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck Pakistan earlier on Saturday, according to EMSC.
