Magnitude 5 Earthquake Hits Northern Tibet Amid Flood Response Measures
A magnitude 5.0 earthquake struck northern Tibet at a depth of 10 km, several hundred miles north of the recent catastrophic flash flood in Nepal and China. China's earthquake monitoring center also reported a 4.7 magnitude quake in Nagqu, Tibet. Some scientists and the US Geological Survey suggest that a seismic event near Kodari, Nepal, was caused by a landslide rather than an earthquake. China has initiated a Level-IV flood response due to concerns over a barrier lake breach in Tibet.
