Pakistan's quake-devastated north west was jolted by two aftershocks early on Sunday but there were no immediate reports of casualties, a seismological department official said.
An aftershock measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale was felt at 5:44 am in Mansehra town, he said, adding that it came about five hours after an earlier tremor rattled the town at 00:29 am.
The epicentre of both aftershocks was located near Mansehra, about 90 kilometres (56 miles) north of the capital city of Islamabad, the official added.
