QUETTA: An earthquake jolted the provincial capital and its surrounding areas on Monday.

The 3.7 magnitude tremor on the Richter scale forced people to come out of their homes and their working places in the open sky, but no human or property loss was reported.

According to the Seismological Centre, the earthquake struck at 6.01pm and its epicenter was some 19 kilometers west of Quetta.

It was the fifth earthquake to strike Chaman, Kalat, Khuzdar and Sibi in January.
