A powerful earthquake early October 7 shook a remote mountainous part of southwestern Pakistan dotted with coal mines and mud houses, killing at least 11 people and injuring more than 200, an official said.
The death toll is expected to rise as officials search through the remote mountainous area, said Suhail Anwar Shaheen, the deputy commissioner of the area.
At least four of the dead were killed when the coal mine in which they were working collapsed, said Mr. Shaheen, citing reports from coal miners in the area.
