The quake struck shortly after 9 a.m. at a depth of 6.2 miles in Dingri County in the Tibet region of China, according to Chinese state media.
The U.S.G.S. defined areas with a shake intensity of 4 or greater as light, though the earthquake may be felt outside the areas shown in the map.
Several aftershocks were felt in the area following the main quake, which underscores the ongoing seismic activity in this earthquake-prone region.
The Himalayan region is prone to powerful earthquakes, as evidenced by the devastating 2015 quake in Nepal that killed nearly 9,000 people.
