More than 50 people were killed when a powerful earthquake rocked a remote region of Tibet on Tuesday morning, according to Chinese state media.
The quake was so strong that tremors were reportedly felt in neighboring Nepal and parts of northern India. Some 53 victims have been declared dead so far, with more than 60 wounded and at least 1,000 homes damaged, per CNN.
Newsweek is attempting to contact the Chinese authorities for further information and comment.
The U.S. Geological Survey said a 7.1-magnitude quake struck at 9:05 a.m. local time and was followed by multiple aftershocks.
The epicenter was said to be in Tingri county, high in the remote Tibetan plateau close to the Himalayan border with Nepal, an area that is peppered with villages.
