In the east of Pakistan today, 19 people died and more than 300 were injured due to the earthquake, the police said.
The earthquake, whose focus was at a shallow depth of the Earth's crust of 10 kilometers, had a magnitude of 5,2 according to the US Geological Institute, and was initially estimated at a magnitude of 5,8.
The epicenter was 22,3 kilometers north of the city of Jhelum, near the border of eastern Punjab province and Pakistan's Kashmir, according to the US Geological Survey.
It was felt across Pakistan and many people who took to the streets are not allowed to return to their buildings for fear of more tremors.
There are also residents of Islamabad who ran out of skyscrapers on the streets.
The assistant inspector general of Mirpur, a town in the Pakistani part of Kashmir near the epicenter of the worst-hit quake, said at least 19 people were dead and more than 300 were injured.
In Mirpur, numerous houses, shops and vehicles were damaged, the roads were cracked, and the water coming out due to a gap in the main canal turned the village blue.
The Pakistan Army has mobilized planes, helicopters and medical teams as well as the army to provide relief to the affected areas of Kashmir.
