Pakistan earthquake kills over 200 lives

A powerful earthquake in Pakistan has not only cost more than 200 lives -- it also prompted the appearance of a small island off the coast, Pakistani officials said.

The 7.7-magnitude quake struck in a remote area of southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday, but it had severe consequences.

At least 208 people were killed in the district of Awaran and the city of Turbut in Balochistan province, Asad Gilani, the provincial home secretary, said Wednesday.

In addition to the fatalities, around 350 people have been injured, he said, and more people are still trapped in rubble.
