An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.4 struck Pakistan at 0804 GMT, 117 km east of the Swat Valley city of Mingaora, at a depth of 43.4 km, the US Geological Survey said.

Minor tremors were felt in Kashmir Valley too.

No loss to life or property has been reported so far.

The quake shook the capital Islamabad, parts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province in the north-west and some northern areas of Punjab.

Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) KP said from Peshawar that the intensity of the tremor was 5.5 and its epicenter was the Hindu Kush mountains.

Pakistan regularly faces tremors but most of them are not lethal.

However in 2005 a massive quake had killed more than 80,000 people.
