Posted Updated (10 d ago)

Rescuers combed through a remote area of Tibet on Friday after a magnitude 7 earthquake, PBS NewsHour reports. Chinese state media say the quake killed at least 16 people and injured 54.

The Guardian reports the quake collapsed hundreds of homes in the northern city of Nagqu. The Nagqu media office, citing city government officials, said at least 339 homes and 20 livestock sheds collapsed. The Guardian says at least seven aftershocks have been recorded.

BBC News says the quake hit a mountainous, sparsely populated part of north-eastern Tibet. Deutsche Welle says Chinese state TV called it the strongest quake to hit the region in five years.

Early reports gave lower figures. CBS News first reported more than a dozen dead, citing local officials. Al Jazeera, citing local medics, reported 32 injured. The injury count has since risen to 54.
