Strong earthquake kills dozens in region of Tibet near Mount Everest toggle caption AP/Xinhua BEIJING — A strong earthquake killed at least 95 people in Tibet on Tuesday and left many others trapped as dozens of aftershocks shook the high-altitude region of western China and across the border in Nepal. About 50 aftershocks were recorded in the three hours after the earthquake, and the Mount Everest scenic area on the Chinese side was closed after the quake. The average altitude in the area around the epicenter is about 13,800 feet, the China Earthquake Networks Center said in a social media post. The National Emergency Operation Center in Kathmandu said people in northeastern Nepal strongly felt the earthquake but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage to houses.
