A powerful earthquake originating in northern Afghanistan killed more than 200 people and caused damage across three Asian nations on Monday.

The epicenter of Monday's 7.5 magnitude earthquake was located in a remote part of Afghanistan, in the Hindu Kush mountains. The powerful tremor killed hundreds in Afghanistan and northern Pakistan and was felt as far as India's New Delhi. Officials have warned that the death toll could rise.
