BEIJING:
An earthquake hit a mountainous area in southwestern China on Saturday morning,
killing at least three people injuring several more, according to state media
and the China Earthquake Administration.The
quake, which measures 5.9 on the Richter scale by the administration and 5.8 by
the US Geological Survey, shook several counties in Yunnan and Sichuan
provinces, including the scenic Shangri-La county. A Chinese report said the
epicenter was in a village in Shangri-La, but the USGS put it in Benzilan, a
small town in a neighboring county.The China
Earthquake Administration said two people were killed in Benzilan, where homes
for 22 families collapsed, and that a driver died on a highway in Shangri-La,
where falling rocks hit a tour bus and stranded three more buses. It said a
total of 17 tourists were trapped.The party-run
People's Daily also reported three fatalities and said six others were
seriously injured.The
administration said another major quake hit Shangri-La three days ago, and the
US Geological Survey recorded three major aftershocks on Saturday.China's
mountainous areas in its southwest are prone to earthquakes. In May 2008, a
powerful quake in Sichuan left nearly 90,000 people dead or missing. In April
this year, another quake in Sichuan killed 193 people.
