At least 20 people were killed and more than 200 injured after a powerful earthquake of 5.7 magnitude hit Pakistan’s southwestern region in the early hours of Thursday.
Officials fear the death toll could rise as the quake left a trail of destruction in a region filled with mud houses and coal mines, with social media posts from cities including Quetta showing alarmed residents gathering outside homes.
The epicentre of the tremor has been placed in Balochistan province at a depth of about 20km, US Geological Survey data showed.
