At least 20 killed in earthquake that hit southern Pakistan
At least 20 people have been killed and more than 200 injured after a magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck in the early hours of Thursday (October 7) close to Harnai, a town in Balochistan, Pakistan, authorities said.
 
The quake was relatively shallow at 20 km (12 miles) with an epicenter 14km from Harnai and 102km (62 miles) east of Quetta, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
 
Video obtained by Reuters and uploaded by local news portal Quetta Voice showed people outside a local hospital in Harnai. The outlet reported that at least six children were among the dead.
More than 100 mud-walled houses collapsed, Harnai's deputy commissioner Sohail Anwar told Reuters, with a large number of buildings damaged, including government buildings.
