A powerful earthquake of 7.8-magnitude has
struck a remote area of south-west Pakistan, the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) says.
It was reportedly felt in the Indian capital Delhi, where some buildings shook.
It struck at 16:29 local time (11:29 GMT) 16/04/2013 at a depth of 23km (15 miles), 145 miles south-east of Dalbandin in Balochistan province, USGS adds.
However, there have so far been no confirmed reports of casualties.
Pakistan's chief meteorologist Mohammad Riaz told reporters it was a major earthquake that could cause extensive damage.
"But it would depend on how dense the population is in the area around the epicenter," he said.
