Aftershock jolts Pakistan

A severe aftershock jolted northwestern Pakistan today, a day after India sharply curtailed plans to open its Kashmir border to help survivors of the region’s massive earthquake.

There were no immediate reports of damage from the temblor in Pakistan’s portion of Kashmir, but it measured 6 – the highest magnitude so far for an aftershock of last month’s massive 7.6-magnitude quake, said seismologists in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
