Moderate quake strikes off coast of Pakistan
Islamabad (AFP) Dec 26, 2008 A 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the southwest coast of Pakistan early Friday, the US Geological Survey said. The moderate quake struck around 300 kilometres (190 miles) southwest of the city of Karachi at 2240 GMT Thursday, the US agency said. There were no immediate reports of any damage or casualties and there was no immediate alert from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre following the shallow quake, which struck at a depth of just 10 kilometres (six miles). Around 300 people were killed and 70,000 left homeless when a 6.4-magnitude quake hit the Pakistani region of Baluchistan in late October.
