Русская версияChinese state media say an earthquake in the country's southwestern
Sichuan province has killed at least 22 people and injured more
than a hundred.
The US Geological Survey says the quake, measuring
6.1 on the Richter scale, struck at 4:30 pm, about 160 kilometres
northwest of Kunming, the regional capital of Yunnan. Many people
in the capital remained outdoors after nightfall for fear of
aftershocks. A massive quake hit Sichuan province in May this year,
killing nearly 70,000 people. About 18,000 are still missing.
