YA’AN: More than 150 people were killed and 5,700 injured when a strong earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale hit a mountainous part of southwestern China on Saturday, destroying thousands of homes and triggering landslides.

The earthquake struck Sichuan province on the edge of the Tibetan plateau just after 8am, prompting a major rescue operation in the same area where 87,000 people were reported dead or missing in a massive quake in 2008. (Agencies)
