It is not yet known whether there are casualties or damage.
The earthquake was recorded at a magnitude, revised, of 6.5 by the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) and at a depth of 194 km.
The epicenter was located in the Hindu Kush mountain range, which stretches from Afghanistan to Pakistan.
A magnitude 6.1 earthquake killed more than 1,000 people last year in eastern Afghanistan.
