An earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan province has killed 15 people and injured nearly a hundred, as houses in rural villages collapsed, state media reported.
The United States Geological Survey said the quake, measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale, struck at 4:30 pm on Saturday, about 160 kilometres northwest of Kunming, Yunnan state's provincial capital. Many people in the capital remained outdoors on Saturday evening for fear of aftershocks. A massive quake hit Sichuan province in May this year, killing nearly 70,000 people, with about 18,000 still missing.
