 A mild earthquake jolted Pakistan's capital yesterday, but no damage or injuries were immediately reported, an official said. The state-run seismological centre was collecting data to determine the magnitude of the quake, said Mohammed Hanif, an official at the centre. "Apparently, it was a mild earthquake," he said. Mild or moderate earthquakes are common in Pakistan. A 5.7-magnitude quake hit parts of northwestern Pakistan in February 2004, killing 24 people, triggering landslides and demolishing hundreds of homes. |
