| 2026-10-23 |
| [DM] A massive earthquake of magnitude 7 struck Tibet today, just two months after devastating Nepal glacier flood. China's Earthquake Networks Centre (CENC) said the quake struck at around 10.30pm local time (2.30pm UK time). Data indicated the epicentre was in a high-altitude county in Nagqu, northern Tibet, at a depth of 6.21 miles. It struck around 250 miles away from the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. CENC said the tremor was felt in the local area. It is not whether anyone has been injured or killed following the latest earthquake. Just last year, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Tibet's Tingri County. Up to 400 people were killed in the region alone, while a further 13 were killed in Nepal. Damage was seen in northern India, while the tremors were felt across south Asia. Tibet is among the most earthquake-prone regions in the world. It sits on top of both the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. |
