A powerful earthquake struck the Tibet region on Tuesday morning, resulting in the deaths of at least 95 individuals and injuring 130 others, according to Chinese state media reports.

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.1 and a depth of 10 kilometers (6 miles), occurred near Shigatse, Tibet’s sacred city, at 09:00 local time (01:00 GMT). The US Geological Survey also recorded multiple aftershocks in the region following the initial tremor.
