A powerful earthquake struck Tibet, causing at least 32 fatalities and injuring over 38 in a region where geological activity is frequent due to plate movements.
The US Geological Survey reported that the magnitude 7.1 earthquake was centered at a depth of 10 kilometres, highlighting the area's susceptibility to seismic activity.
This earthquake's epicentre was located where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide, making it a region prone to significant geological shifts that can alter mountain heights.
Tremors from the earthquake reached as far as the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, awakening residents but causing them no direct harm.
