A powerful earthquake killed at least 250 people and injured 340 more in Pakistan’s remote southwest province of Balochistan on Tuesday, flattening entire villages and even causing a new small island to appear off near the port of Gwadar. The 7.7-magnitude quake was so powerful that it could be felt as far away as Karachi and even in India’s Delhi. Already a presence in the area due to the separatist Baloch insurgency, Pakistan’s military responded quickly in the regional capital, Quetta, but the mountainous terrain has made it difficult to reach survivors.
