At least one woman was killed and more than 50 people were wounded on Tuesday in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after a strong quake jolted several cities in the northern parts of the country, including capital Islamabad.
Pakistan Meteorological Department's earthquake centre said the 5.8-magnitude earthquake was located near the mountainous city of Jehlum in Punjab province. Its depth was at 10 kilometres. However, Minister for Science Fawad Chaudhry said that the intensity of the quake was 7.1.
The quake was powerful and created panic as people ran out of building, eyewitnesses said. "The (most) damage is in areas between Jhelum and Mirpur," said the chief of Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority, Lieutenant General Mohammad Afzal. "So far we have reports of the death of a girl child and injuries to nearly 50 people."
