Pakistani troops in rescue effort after Iran quake
Pakistan has sent troops to help its citizens affected by a powerful earthquake that struck just over the border in south-east Iran.
The 7.8-magnitude quake, the most powerful to hit Iran for more than 50 years, caused 35 deaths in Pakistan's Balochistan province.
The National Disaster Management Authority say a further 150 people there have been injured.
The quake shook tall buildings as far away as India and the Gulf States.
