Two quakes hits southwest China
Two earthquakes hit southwest China on Thursday, the US Geological Survey said, near the area devastated by a massive tremor in May that left nearly 70,000 dead. One quake with a magnitude of 5.5 struck the border region of Sichuan and Gansu provinces at 3:09 p.m., the USGS said, 174 kilometres northeast of Mianyang, which was severely hit by the 8.0-magnitude quake in May. It hit at a depth of 10 kilometres. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties. The earlier quake, with a magnitude of 5.8, was just one kilometre away and also at a depth of 10 kilometres, the USGS said. There were similarly no reports of casualties from that quake.
