A strong earthquake shook a high-altitude region of western China and areas of Nepal on Tuesday, damaging hundreds of houses, littering streets with rubble and killing at least 126 people in Tibet. Many others were trapped as dozens of aftershocks shook the remote region.
At least 188 people were injured in Tibet on the Chinese side of the border, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The tremors of the earthquake were also felt in several parts of India, including Bihar, Assam and West Bengal.
More than 1,000 homes were damaged in the barren and sparsely populated region, state broadcaster CCTV reported. In video posted by the broadcaster, building debris littered streets and crushed cars.
