At least three people were injured when a 5.9-magnitude earthquake hit parts of northern Pakistan on Thursday morning, said local media.
Local Urdu TV channel Geo said that three people fell off the stairs and got injured in the earthquake.
But the report failed to mention at what places these three people got injured.
An official with Meteorological Department of Pakistan (MDP) denied the report and said no casualty reports have been received.
Arif Mahmood, director general of MDP, said the earthquake took place at 11:31 a.m. (Pakistan Standard Time) and its epicenter was located along the Afghanistan-Tajikistan border area with a focus depth of 225 km.
Tremors were felt in Peshawar, Islamabad and many others places in upper parts of Pakistan and the tremor reportedly lasted for about 30 seconds.
An earthquake measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale jolted Hindu Kush region, Afghanistan at 06:31: 32 GMT on Thursday (14:31:32 Hong Kong Time), the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The epicenter, with a depth of 233.70 km, was initially determined to be at 36.4748 degrees north latitude and 71.1225 degrees east longitude. (Xinhua-ANI)
