  "summary": "A magnitude 7 earthquake struck southwestern China's Tibet region on Thursday evening, with the epicentre located in a high-altitude county in Nagqu, northern Tibet, at a depth of 10 km. The China Earthquake Networks Center reported that there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, but the quake was clearly felt in the local area. The earthquake, the strongest to hit China since January 2024, was approximately 400 km from the Tibetan capital of Lhasa. In comparison, a magnitude 7.1 tremor struck Yushu in neighbouring Qinghai province in 2010, resulting in over 2,698 fatalities and nearly 300 people missing.",
