Aftershock measuring 6.0 rocks PoK; no damages
Sunday, November 6 2005 14:49 Hrs (IST) - World Time -

Muzaffarabad (PoK): A severe aftershock jolted Pakistan-occupied Kashmir today (Nov 06, 2005) but there were no reports of damage.

Spotlight: Earthquake in North India

Today's temblor measured 6.0 - the highest magnitude so far for an aftershock of last month's massive 7.6-magnitude quake, seismologists in the north-western city of Peshawar said.

The 1,190 aftershocks since that quake have sparked landslides that added to the debris blocking roads needed to distribute much-needed aid to remote mountain settlements.

Forecasts of snow in northern Pakistan, meanwhile, added to the ordeal for hundreds of thousands of survivors still without shelter nearly a month after the quake, as UN and other aid agencies struggle with limited budgets to deliver help by helicopter before winter.
