A devastating earthquake shook the western Himalaya and adjoining regions
on the morning of 8th October 2005. The magnitude 7.6 earthquake killed at least 86,000
people, injured more than 69,000 and caused extensive damage in northern Pakistan.
The heaviest damage occurred in the Muzaffarabad area, Kashmir where entire villages
were destroyed and at Uri where 80 percent of the town was destroyed. At least 32,335
buildings collapsed in Anantnag, Baramula, Jammu and Srinagar, Kashmir. Buildings
collapsed in Abbottabad, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Islamabad, Lahore and Rawalpindi, Pakistan.
At least 1,360 people killed and 6,266 injured in India. At least one person killed
and some buildings collapsed in Afghanistan. Landslides and rockfalls damaged or destroyed
several mountain roads and highways cutting off access to the region for several days.
Landslides occurred farther north near the towns of Gilgit and Skardu, Kashmir. Liquefaction
and sandblows occurred in the western part of Vale of Kashmir and near Jammu.
