Afghans are calling for urgent restoration of the historic Blue Mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif after a powerful 6.3 magnitude earthquake left its minarets cracked and tiles shattered. Locals describe the destruction as unlike anything they’ve seen in decades, urging authorities and traders to step in before the winter worsens the damage. The Hazrat Ali Shrine, also known as the Blue Mosque, remains open to the public despite visible structural harm.
