Shallow tremor rocks Pakistan quake-hit area

A tremor sent terrified people running into the streets in northeastern Pakistan on Thursday, days after a powerful quake killed 38 people in the same area and destroyed infrastructure and roads.

An AFP reporter in the city of Mirpur in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir described the ground shaking, while Pakistan's top meteorologist, Muhammad Riaz, said the epicenter of the 4.4-magnitude tremor was 12 kilometers (seven miles) deep.
