네팔 서부서 규모 5.6 지진…"주택 붕괴로 6명 이상 사망"

For a look at the news from around the world, we now turn to our Matthew Ashley standing by at the Arirang newsroom. Good morning.

Good morning.

Let's start in Nepal where an earthquake has killed six people.

That's right,... the 5.6 magnitude tremor struck Doti district in western Nepal in the early hours of Wednesday morning, local time.
The earthquake has killed at least six people and injured five, with two of them in critical condition.
Search and rescue operations are ongoing following the collapse of eight houses. Two people previously reported missing were safely rescued.
Reports say further casualties are not expected, as the earthquake struck a relatively unpopulated area.
This comes after nearly 9-thousand people were killed across two large earthquakes in 2015.
