BEIJING — A strong earthquake killed at least 32 people in Tibet on Tuesday and left many others trapped as dozens of aftershocks shook the region of western China and across the border in Nepal.
It was the deadliest earthquake in the immediate area since a M s 6.6 event occurred in Yadong County on 20 November 1980. That earthquake had an epicenter 176 km (109 mi) away and killed 3 people in the county. The 7 January 2025 earthquake was also the largest in the area since a M s 7.1 struck 171 km (106 mi) to the south on 26 April 2015.
The China Earthquake Networks Center gave the earthquake a magnitude of M s 7.1, [3] while the United States Geological Survey said the earthquake measured M ww 7.0. [2] It struck at 02:09 CST (18:09 UTC) [4] at a depth of 13 kilometers (8.1 miles). [2] The epicenter was located in a mountainous area with an average altitude of about 3,048 ...

The China Earthquake Networks Center said the seismic sequence was consistent with a mainshock–aftershock type event. Within 200 km (120 mi) of the earthquake's epicenter, only three earthquakes greater than magnitude 6.0 have occurred. [16] In 1936, a M s 6.8 earthquake caused significant destruction and deaths in Kangle County, Gansu. [17]
