An earthquake in northwestern China kills at least 127

A powerful overnight earthquake shook a mountainous region in northwestern China, causing widespread destruction, displacing residents into the freezing winter night, and resulting in 127 fatalities—the nation’s deadliest quake in nine years, authorities reported on Tuesday.

The quake, measuring magnitude 6.2, struck just before midnight on Monday, causing injuries to over 700 people, damaging infrastructure, and disrupting power and communication lines in Gansu and Qinghai provinces, as indicated by officials and Chinese media reports.

Emergency responders conducted search and rescue operations amidst collapsed buildings and at least one landslide.

Displaced individuals, who lost their homes, braced for a cold winter night in tents set up at hastily arranged evacuation sites, the Associated Press reported.
