A man died and several houses collapsed after an earthquake of magnitude 6 struck Pakistan-administered Kashmir on Monday, an official and the European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC) said.

The quake was at a depth of 35 km (21.75 miles), the EMSC said.

Several mud-houses either collapsed or were damaged in Pakistan’s northern region of Gilgit-Baltistan, regional information minister Ghulam Abbas said.

Heavy mountain rocks hit several access roads and a major highway, he said, adding that the government agencies had moved machinery to clear the roads, he said.
