Yunnan, China Earthquake 6.1

At least 398 people have been killed and some 1,300 injured by a magnitude 6.1 earthquake in south-west China. State broadcaster CCTV said the earthquake was the strongest to hit the province in 14 years.






Chinese state media said tremors were felt in Yunnan’s neighboring provinces of Guizhou and Sichuan.



The city of Zhaozhong, about 300 kilometers from Yunnan's capital city, Kunming, is on the earthquake belt and has been occasionally struck by earthquakes.
