<p>A major earthquake has struck a remote area in south-western Pakistan.</p>
<p>The United States Geological Survey reported that it measured 7.4 on the Richter scale.</p>
<p>The earthquake struck at 1:30 am local time on Wednesday in Baluchistan province near the border with Afghanistan.</p>
<p>Local TV reports said the earthquake was felt in several provinces in the country.</p>
<p>The quake was centred in Baluchistan province, the country&#8217;s most sparsely populated area. It happened at a depth of some 50 miles.</p>
<p>Its exact epicentre was in a remote area some 200 miles south-west of the Baluchistan capital of Quetta, said chief Pakistani meteorologist Arif Mahmood.</p>
<p>Local TV reports said the quake was felt throughout several provinces. Many residents in the country&#8217;s largest city, Karachi, ran out into the streets once the quake started.</p>
<p>There were no immediate reports of damage, said Mr Mahmood. But quakes of this strength can cause widespread destruction.</p>
<p>Tremors lasting at least 20 seconds were also felt as far away as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and in India&#8217;s capital, New Delhi.</p>
<p>Earthquakes often rattle the region. A magnitude 7.6 quake on October 8, 2005, killed about 80,000 people in north-western Pakistan and Kashmir and left more than three million homeless.</p>
