A powerful earthquake has killed at least 280 people and left scores injured in Afghanistan, according to the country's state news agency.
Pictures shared on social media showed people on stretchers, rubble and ruined homes in the eastern Paktika province.
A report by the Bakhtar News Agency said the death toll was likely to rise, adding more than 600 people were injured.
The quake struck about 44km (27 miles) from the south-eastern city of Khost.
"Unfortunately, last night there was a severe earthquake in four districts of Paktika province, which killed and injured hundreds of our countrymen and destroyed dozens of houses," government spokesman Bilal Karimi tweeted.
"We urge all aid agencies to send teams to the area immediately to prevent further catastrophe."

Tremors were felt across more than 500km of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, according to the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre, quoted by Reuters.
The centre said that witnesses had reported feeling the quake in Afghanistan's capital, Kabul, as well as Pakistan's capital, Islamabad.
However, there have been no immediate reports of casualties, and the earthquake caused barely any damage there, according to BBC Urdu.

The earthquake - which hit during the early hours as many people slept - was a magnitude 6.1 quake at a depth of some 51km, according to the US Geological Survey.
Earthquakes can cause significant damage in Afghanistan, particularly in the many rural areas where many dwellings are not as stable or well-built.
Afghanistan is also prone to quakes, as it's located in a seismically active region, over a number of fault lines including the Chaman fault, the Hari Rud fault, the Central Badakhshan fault and the Darvaz fault.
In the past 10 years, more than 7,000 people have been killed in earthquakes in the country, the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports. There are average 560 deaths a year from earthquakes.
Dear God! This is a disaster

▪︎Global seismic activity level: Moderate
▪︎Estimated combined seismic energy released: 9.2 x 1013 joules (25.6 gigawatt hours, equivalent to 21987 tons of TNT or 1.4 atomic bombs!)
▪︎4 quakes above magnitude 5
▪︎38 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
▪︎94 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
▪︎204 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
▪︎428 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.
▪︎768 quakes past 24h - 892 previous quakes.
▪︎According to Volcano discovery data the estimated seismic energy released from the M5.9 earthquake in Afghanistan was equivalent to 10676 tons of TNT.
It was a very shallow earthquake at a depth of 10 km, so the damage it caused to rustic homes is not uncommon.
In addition, Najibullah Sadid, an Afghan water resources management expert, said the earthquake had coincided with heavy monsoon rain in the region -- making traditional houses, many made of mud and other natural materials, particularly vulnerable to damage.
The death toll stands at more than 1,000 and at least 1,500 people have been injured.
