Tibet rocked by 7.0-magnitude earthquake
A 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck China's southwestern region of Tibet, killing at least 16 people. The quake is the strongest to hit China since January 2024.
Several surveillance videos have captured the dramatic moment when the powerful earthquake hit the remote region. The tremor caused significant damage to infrastructure and homes in the affected areas.
The earthquake's magnitude of 7.0 places it among the most severe seismic events to strike China in recent years. Emergency response teams have been deployed to the region to assess the full extent of the damage and provide assistance to survivors.
Local authorities have established temporary shelters for those displaced by the earthquake. The international community is monitoring the situation closely, with offers of assistance beginning to arrive from neighboring countries and global aid organizations.
