💨 Abstract

A 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck the Dingri county region near Mount Everest in southern Tibet on Tuesday, causing 126 deaths and 188 injuries. Subsequent to the main quake, there have been 646 aftershocks, with at least 16 exceeding 3.8 magnitude. The aftershocks are attributed to normal faulting at shallow depths in the North-South direction.
