Multiple aftershocks followed the quake, some registering a magnitude of 6.6. Assessments are ongoing, but the local office of Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, located in Kathmandu, currently reports that one Witness and her two children were killed in the disaster. Also, dozens of the Witnesses\u2019 homes were destroyed and many others were damaged. The local office facility was also damaged, though not severely.
