The most affected districts were Maidan Shar, Nirkh, and Sayedabad in Wardak, and Baraki Barak, Pul-e-Alam and Mohammad Agha in Logar. 70 people were killed 500 were injured, and 7,000 homes collapsed due to the quake. About 18,600 families were also affected. Many lives were saved due to foreshocks preceding the main tremor. The damage in the Wardak province was generally much severe than that in Logar. In the capital Kabul, damage such as collapsed mud walls and several injuries were also reported. Panic also spread across the city, as many people thought that they were being attacked by U.S. warplanes or missiles in the search for Osama bin Laden, who was based in Afghanistan.50 Dead, 200 Injured When 5.5 Quake Hits Afghan Capital https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-feb-13-mn-7724-story.html Los Angeles Times Reuters 13 February 1999 7 September 2022 See also List of earthquakes in 1999 List of earthquakes in Afghanistan References External links 30 percent of Afghan children in quake hit areas have pneumonia http://wwwnotes.reliefweb.int/files/rwdomino.nsf/480fa8736b88bbc3c12564f6004c8ad5/b862858647bf08bb8525671b004e84d6?OpenDocument 6 September 2022 ReliefWeb Agence France-Presse 17 February 1999 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20000115100502/http://wwwnotes.reliefweb.int/files/rwdomino.nsf/480fa8736b88bbc3c12564f6004c8ad5/b862858647bf08bb8525671b004e84d6?OpenDocument 15 January 2000 1451289 Category:1999 earthquakes Category:1999 in Afghanistan 1999 02 Category:History of Afghanistan (1992–present) Category:February 1999 in Afghanistan
