QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) – A powerful earthquake has collapsed at least one coal mine and up to 100 mud houses in a remote mountainous region of southwestern Pakistan. The earthquake, which occurred in the early hours of Thursday morning, killed at least 20 people and injured more than 200. A local official said the death toll was expected to rise further. At least four of the dead were working in a coal mine when it collapsed. The 5.9-magnitude quake occurred in a remote part of Balochistan province, where most residents live in sun-drenched mud houses. Television footage showed people wrapped in blankets outdoors in the cool morning air, waiting for the aftershocks to calm down and help to arrive.
