BEIJING (AP) — A strong earthquake has shaken a high-altitude region of western China and areas of Nepal. Tuesday’s quake damaged hundreds of houses, littered streets with rubble and killed at least 126 people in Tibet. Many others were trapped as dozens of aftershocks shook the remote region. State media reported that at least 188 people have been injured in Tibet. Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said more than 1,000 homes were damaged in the barren and sparsely populated region. Nepalese authorities said people in the country’s northeast strongly felt the earthquake, but there were no initial reports of injuries or damage.
