Magnitude 7 earthquake hits China's Tibet region
The China Earthquake Networks Center said a magnitude 7 earthquake struck Nagqu in the north of the Tibet Autonomous Region. No initial information on casualties or damage was released after the quake.
The China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC) said a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck a county in Nagqu, in the north of the Tibet Autonomous Region, at 10:33 p.m. local time. According to CENC, the quake hit at a depth of about 10 kilometers. The epicenter lies roughly 400 kilometers from Lhasa, the regional capital.
No information on casualties or structural damage has yet been released. Damage assessments in the high-altitude, sparsely populated region are expected to take time because of the difficult terrain. India's National Center for Seismology put the depth of the quake at 173 kilometers.
An earthquake-prone region
The Tibetan Plateau, where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide, is among the world's most earthquake-prone regions. In January 2025, a quake in Tibet's Dingri county, measured at 7.1 by the U.S. Geological Survey, killed 126 people. The region is also recovering from floods and landslides near the Nepal border in August.
