PESHAWAR (AP) - An earthquake centered in the remote mountains of Afghanistan shook parts of northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage from the quake, which Pakistan's Meteorological Office said had a 4.5 magnitude.

Shocks were felt at 11:21 a.m. (0621 GMT) in the city of Peshawar, the scenic Chitral valley and other parts of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, said Mohammed Ishtiaq, an official at the Meteorological Office.

The epicenter of the quake was some 300 kilometers (190 miles) north of Peshawar in the Hindu Kush mountain range in Afghanistan, he said.
