Русская версияAt least five people died and 11 were seriously injured after an
earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale hit south-western
China's Sichuan province on Saturday, state media said.
The United
States Geological Survey said the quake struck at 4:30 pm on
Saturday, about 160 kilometres northwest of Kunming, Yunnan's
provincial capital. Many people in the provincial capital remained
outdoors on Saturday evening for fear of aftershocks. A massive
quake hit Sichuan province in May this year, killing nearly 70,000
people, with about 18,000 still missing.
