GWADAR: A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Pakistan’s southwestern province of Balochistan, prompting a new island to rise from the sea just off the country’s southern coast of Gwadar.
A team of the National Institute of Oceanography arrived on Wednesday at the new island for evaluation.
The experts from the institute said that the island is spewing methane gas which can be seen at various points and there is a visible presence of marine life on it.
The island is reportedly 60-70 feet above sea level and its land mass stretches 100-120 metres by 250-300 metres.
