The province in southwest Pakistan is the country's largest but also the least populated.
The death toll ranged from two to at least 30 in early reports. Abdul Wadoos, deputy speaker of the Baluchistan assembly, claimed 30 people died and at least 30 per cent of houses in the Awaran district were destroyed.
The magnitude 7.7 quake hit in the southern part of Baluchistan province, said Pakistan's chief meteorologist, Mohammed Riaz. The US Geological Survey in Golden, Colo. reported the quake as magnitude 7.8.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
