China has been struck by its strongest earthquake since January 2024, as a powerful magnitude 7.0 tremor rocks Tibet. At least 339 houses have collapsed or sustained significant damage, leaving buildings unstable and streets covered in rubble. More than 12,000 residents have been evacuated, while emergency teams work to assist displaced families. Seismic authorities have recorded hundreds of aftershocks, including several powerful tremors that threaten already weakened structures. Rockfalls, damaged roads, and communication disruptions are complicating rescue operations across the mountainous region. Rescuers continue inspecting damaged buildings, delivering essential supplies, and assessing the destruction caused by the earthquake.
