  "summary": "A magnitude 7 earthquake struck southwestern China's Tibet region on Thursday at around 10:33 p.m. local time, according to the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC). The epicentre was located in a high-altitude county in Nagqu, northern Tibet, at a depth of 10 km, with the average elevation within a 5 km radius of the epicentre being approximately 4,864 meters. The quake, the strongest to hit China since January 2024, was felt locally, though it is not yet known if there have been any casualties or significant damage. The epicentre was situated around 400 km from Lhasa, the Tibetan capital. In comparison, a magnitude 7.1 tremor struck Yushu in neighbouring Qinghai province in 2010, resulting in at least 2,698 deaths and nearly 300 people missing.",
