The earthquake hit late Thursday in Nagqu City, in a remote area commonly known as Tibet. Reports cited by multiple outlets put the injured toll at between 32 and 54, suggesting figures may change as authorities reach affected communities. The collapse of hundreds of homes and the region’s difficult terrain are complicating emergency response, while officials continue searching for survivors and assessing infrastructure damage.
