Even two days after the devastating earthquake in Afghanistan that left at least 1,100 dead, the disaster region still hasn't come to rest.
Another five people died in an aftershock on Friday, a health ministry official said.
There were initially no reports of damage or injuries.
Only shortly before the renewed tremor did the authorities end the search for survivors in the remote and inaccessible mountain region near the Pakistani border.
They did not give any reasons, although in other earthquakes people were found alive in the rubble even after much longer than 48 hours.
The aftershock had a magnitude of 4.3, according to the US earthquake agency.
It therefore happened in almost the same area where an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.1 caused severe destruction on Wednesday.
According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), 1,036 people died.
The number of victims is therefore likely to increase.
A spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of Disaster Management put the number of dead at 1,000 on Friday. Around 2,000 were also injured.
10,000 houses were partially or completely destroyed.
Drugs were not enough, the spokesman emphasized.
"We need medical aid and other basic necessities because it is a major disaster." Several countries have announced or are already preparing aid shipments.
