A magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Tibet, killing at least 16 people and injuring 65 others, according to local authorities. The disaster has prompted emergency responses and highlighted the region's vulnerability to seismic activity.

The quake, which occurred near Nagqu City, caused significant damage with at least 339 homes collapsing. Local officials reported 11 critically injured and 21 with minor injuries, while 16 fatalities were confirmed. The epicenter was located 190km east-northeast of Nagqu.

Emergency measures have been activated, including a level-II disaster response, as the region prepares for potential aftershocks. The event underscores the need for continued monitoring and preparedness in seismically active areas.

Differences in reported figures exist between sources, with some citing 32 injured and others 65, highlighting the complexity of assessing the full impact of the disaster.
