At least 25 people have been confirmed dead and more than 300 injured when a magnitude 5.8 earthquake hit Pakistan-administered Kashmir and areas in Punjab province.
Tuesday's quake hit 22 kilometres (14 miles) north of the city of Jhelum along the boundary separating the agricultural heartland of Punjab province and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, the US geological agency, USGS, said.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder reporting from Mirpur near the quake's epicentre, said that some of those wounded had serious injuries and it was likely the death toll could rise.
