An earthquake struck Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan on February 14, 2004.

Extensive damage occurred and 24 people lost their lives.

Northern Pakistan lies at the southern margin of the broad zone of continental collision between the Eurasian and Indian plates.

The rate of convergence between these plates near this location is 38 mm per year.

Thirteen others were also killed and one was left missing when a landslide hit a minibus and fell into a deep ravine in Battagram.
