BEIJING — A magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck Tibet's second-largest city on Tuesday morning, the China Earthquake Networks Centre said, shaking the area surrounding Shigatse city at 9.05am (0105 GMT).
The trembler had an epicentre depth of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles), the report added. Tremors were felt as far away as Nepal's capital Kathmandu some 400 km (250 miles) away, according to Indian media, where residents reportedly ran from their houses.
