At least 16 people have been killed and 32 others injured after a powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck northern Tibet on Thursday evening.

The tremors caused extensive material damage, while more than 300 homes collapsed, according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua, citing local officials.

The earthquake was recorded at 22:33 local time in the mountainous Nagqu province, in northern Tibet. According to preliminary data, the epicenter was located about 400 kilometers from Lhasa, the regional capital, while the depth of the tremors was only 10 kilometers.

After the earthquake, residents were forced to quickly evacuate their homes, seeking shelter in open spaces and parked cars, fearing further collapses. Footage broadcast by Chinese state media showed people abandoning their homes after the strong tremors.

According to available data, this is the most powerful earthquake recorded in China since January 2024. Local authorities have reported 16 deaths, 32 injuries and hundreds of destroyed homes, while the damage balance reflects the strength of the tremors that hit the area.

The event has brought back memories of the devastating earthquake that struck Yushu county, in neighboring Qinghai province, in 2010.

The 7.1-magnitude earthquake killed at least 2,698 people and left about 300 missing, ranking among the deadliest seismic disasters in the region.

The latest earthquake in northern Tibet revives concerns about the consequences of powerful tremors in mountainous areas, where damage to housing and fragile infrastructure could increase the risk to the local population.
