ISLAMABAD (AFP) - A strong earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale struck Pakistan andAfghanistan, triggering panic among survivors of October's tremor but there were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage.
The epicentre of the quake was in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afghanistan and occurred at 2.48am (2148 GMT Monday), seismological official Nasir Mehmood from the Pakistan Meteorological Department told AFP.
"The magnitude is 6.7 according to our final computation," Mehmood said, revising upwards an earlier estimate of 6.6.
"It was a fierce intensity earthquake about 375 kilometres (235 miles) north of Islamabad in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan."
The US Geological Survey said the quake originated some 230 kilometers (143 miles) under the surface of Afghanistan's northeastern mountain chain.
There were no immediate reports of casualties but residents in cities across northern Pakistan rushed out into the streets in panic, local media said.
Witnesses said it felt like the strongest tremor since the 7.6-magnitude earthquake on October 8 that killed more than 73,000 people in Pakistan.
That quake also left around 3.5 million people homeless, mainly in Pakistan-controlledKashmir and parts of the North West Frontier Province.
The tremor was also felt in Indian-administered Kashmir, where around 1,300 people died in the October 8 disaster.
"It was the biggest aftershock felt in our area after the October 8 earthquake," said Irshad Ahmed, from the region's northern Uri sector.
"People rushed out of their sheds and tents despite harsh winter conditions outside," he told AFP.
"I could hear screams from all around me," he said, adding there were no immediate reports of any casualties.
In Indian Kashmir's summer capital, Srinagar, people started reciting verses from Koran and children screamed as the ground shook, witnesses said

The reason the men would visit hospitals and nursing homes is to contract a milder, but more spread able, strain of flu and hope the two strains mutate to create a much deadlier strain that can easily spread.
