From AFP:
A 5.0-magnitude earthquake struck southwest China on Monday, shaking a wide area that was heavily damaged in this year’s Sichuan disaster, officials and residents said.
The quake hit a remote, mountainous part of the province at 2:18pm (0618 GMT) about 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of Mianyang, a city in one of the zones worst affected by the May earthquake, the US Geological Survey said.
There were no immediate reports of deaths, injuries or damage, an official at the Sichuan Seismological Bureau, who would only give his surname as Chen, told AFP.
But the tremor was felt in Chongqing, a city roughly 300 kilometres away from the epicentre of the quake, a resident there told AFP.
