New earthquake hits Tibet

The Tibet region was struck by an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale, with a depth of 24 kilometers and located 186 kilometers northeast of Nyingchi. This earthquake is among the most vulnerable areas to violent tremors, as it lies on the edge of the Himalayas where the Indian plate collides with the Eurasian plate, increasing the likelihood of strong earthquakes and significant surface effects that can cause material and human losses, especially due to the rugged terrain.
