Dozens of houses collapsed in Awaran, about 42 miles north of the quake’s epicenter, and shocks were felt as far away as Karachi and New Delhi.
Muhammad Riaz, a senior Pakistan meteorologist, told reporters that “heavy destruction” was likely.
The death toll is likely to climb. The U.S. Geological Survey issued a red alert level for fatalities after the earthquake, writing that “High casualties are probable and the disaster is likely widespread. Past events with this alert level have required a national or international level response.”
