Major Earthquake in South Asia Leaves At Least 260 Dead

Major Earthquake in South Asia Leaves At Least 260 Dead: "A major earthquake that struck northern Afghanistan has killed at least 260 people in the country and in neighboring Pakistan.

More than 228 people so far have been reported killed, and at least 1,000 injured in Pakistan, and at least 33 deaths and more than 200 injured have been reported in Afghanistan. Officials expect the death toll to increase in the coming hours and days as remote areas in both countries are accessed. In one incident, at least 12 school girls died in a stampede as they fled shaking buildings in Takhar province, northeastern Afghanistan."
