An earthquake shook northern Pakistan yesterday, killing 22 people and injuring nearly 200 more, government and police officials said.
Photos and video carried by local media showed dozens of collapsed buildings and homes, uprooted trees and cracks in roads large enough to swallow cars in Mirpur, a town on Pakistan's side of the disputed territory of Kashmir near India.
