An earthquake of magnitude 4.4 struck Islamabad and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Thursday evening, according to the National Seismic Monitoring Centre website.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or loss of property.

Several citizens took to Twitter to share their concerns, questioning whether others had felt the tremors too.
