ISLAMABAD, April 4: A tremor measuring 5.2 injured about a dozen people in northern parts on Tuesday, almost five months after a huge earthquake devastated the region, police said. The aftershock’s epicentre was in Hazara division, 200km from Peshawar.
The shock was felt in Battagram and several parts of North West Frontier Province as well as Azad Kashmir and Islamabad, the Pakistan Meteorological Department said.
“Several houses damaged in last year’s earthquake collapsed and around twelve people have been injured,” said Shehnaz Khan, a police officer in Battagram, adding that one person was in a critical condition.—Reuters
