QUETTA: A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck Khuzdar on Friday, but officials said there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.
The epicentre was in the city of Khuzdar, in Balochistan province, at a depth of 26 kilometres (16 miles), meteorological official Zabih Ullah told AFP. The quake, which struck late morning, was also felt in surrounding towns and districts.
Pakistan straddles part of the boundary where the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates meet, making the country susceptible to earthquakes.
