Today's powerful 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit southwest Pakistan is believed to be an 'aftershock' from Sept. 24th magnitude 7.7 event. However, Zahid Rafi, director of the National Seismic Center of Pakistan, classified it as a new earthquake. |

This new quake has resulted in at least 22 fatalities in the same region which was already devastated by a tremor which left more than 300 people dead and more than 100,000 homeless. Officials fear the toll in Saturday's quake in Awaran, the poorest district in the southwest province of Baluchistan, could still rise further.
