Русская версияAn earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan province has killed 15
people and injured nearly a hundred, as houses in rural villages
collapsed, state media reported.
The United States Geological
Survey said the quake, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale, struck
at 4:30 pm on Saturday, about 160 kilometres northwest of Kunming,
Yunnan state's provincial capital. Many people in the 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.
