Earthquake rocks South Asia, hundreds feared dead

An earthquake measuring at least 7.6 on the Richter Scale caused massive devastation across a swathe of Pakistan, India and Afghanistan, leaving hundreds feared dead.

The quake struck early in the morning almost directly on the dividing line between the Indian and Pakistani controlled zones of Kashmir, triggering landslides and sending terrified residents fleeing into the streets.

Senior Pakistani officials described scenes of "massive devastation" and warned of heavy loss of life in landslides and building collapses.

"The death toll could be in hundreds," said Brigadier Javed Cheema, the head of Pakistan's national crisis center. He said most deaths were in the northern area of Mansehra and Pakistan's sector of Kashmir.

The Pakistani military said at least one village in Kashmir had been totally destroyed and that troops and helicopters had been scrambled to reach the stricken areas.

"There are reports of buildings collapsing in several cities in central Pakistan. We have no exact estimates but the casualties could be very high," one Pakistani official told AFP, asking to remain anonymous.

The Indian army said at least at least 31 people -- 16 civilians and 15 soldiers -- had been killed in the Indian-controlled zone of Kashmir and some 300 taken to hospital.

Indian army spokesman P Sehgal told AFP many soldiers died when their positions caved in along the Line of Control, the heavily-militarised de facto border which divides Kashmir into Indian and Pakistani zones.

He said others were hit by falling trees and landslides.

The US Geological Survey and the Pakistan Meteorological Department said the quake measured 7.6 on the Richter Scale, while the Japanese Meteorological Agency put the temblor even higher at 7.8.
