At least 92 killed in a massive earthquake with 7.5 magnitude struck major cities of Pakistan, including Kashmir on Monday, due to roof and building collapses.
According to reports forty minutes after the first earthquake, an aftershock of 4.8 magnitude was reported in the same area. Aftershocks are expected to continue in the affected areas. The earthquake struck the country at 2:09pm today (Monday).
The magnitude of today’s earthquake is close to the previous earthquake of 2005, but the destruction was more widespread then due to the shallow epicentre of the earthquake.
According to Pakistan analyst the earthquake in 2005 was at a depth of 26 km, while today’s earthquake was at a depth of 212.5 km.
