QUETTA, Pakistan - An earthquake shook this southwestern Pakistan city early Sunday, leaving 15 people with minor injuries, officials said.



The 4.7 magnitude temblor struck at 1:12 a.m. and was centered in southwestern Baluchistan province where Quetta is situated, said Salim Akhtar, an official at the Pakistan's Seismological Center.


Dr. Jamal Shah at Quetta's Civil Hospital said at least 15 people were injured, including one man who broke his leg as he tried to rush from his home. Others were hit by glass from shattered windows.
