At least 12 people, including seven women and a child, were killed on Monday when a mudslide fell on quake victims' settlement in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, the private GEO Television reported.

It occurred at 4 a.m. when a landslide caused by torrential rain destroyed a camp settlement at Chahla area, near Muzzaffarabad, GEO reported.
