Magnitude 6.2 Earthquake recorded in North-Western Pakistan

[PAFAce]

The Dawn News ticker says that a Magnitude 6.2 earthquake has been recorded in Mansehra and surrounding areas (Swat, Malakand, Peshawar), with minor tremors being felt in Islamabad. Please, can anybody from these areas update as to the magnitude?

Magnitude 6.2 is generally not considered very destructive, but in populated regions it can still cause quite a bit of damage. I hope everything is alright.

Update
Correction: Geo News is reporting that the epicenter is near Chitral. Swat, Lower Dir, Shangla and surrounding areas is where the earthquake was felt strongest.

Still waiting for someone to update me, I'm concerned.
