Police officers and emergency response crews in northern Tibet are racing against time following a powerful 7.0-magnitude earthquake that struck China’s southwest region, leaving at least 16 dead, dozens injured, and flattening over 300 homes.
Hundreds of police officers and armed personnel have been deployed to the high-altitude Nagqu prefecture, clambering through rubble and setting up temporary shelters under freezing conditions as search efforts intensify.
Authorities have launched an all-out emergency response to locate survivors trapped beneath collapsed structures, while affected residents brace against cold weather and lingering aftershocks in open-air tents and vehicles.
