May those 270+ People rest in peace. Sending healing thoughts their loved ones.
**********************************************
The earthquake struck in Pakistan’s Balochistan region, its largest but least populated province. The quake was felt in the Indian capital Delhi, where some buildings shook. It caused a new island to rise from the sea, just off the Pakistan’s southern coast.

Older residents of the coastal town said the land emergence was déjà vu — an earthquake in 1968 produced an island that stayed for one year and then vanished, Ali Mohammad, 60, and Azeem Baloch, 57, told NBC News.

They better be quick and start with the exploration as they might find oil and gas and maybe lots of gold and uranium and god knows what else at the new island
