‘Very strong’ 7.1 magnitude quake in western China kills 3 as officials cite sparse population there
Associated PressUCHTURPAN, China — A magnitude 7.1 earthquake in a remote part of China’s western Xinjiang region killed at least three people and caused extensive damage in freezing weather, officials said Tuesday while suggesting that the area’s sparse population contributed to the “very strong” quake’s low death toll. The quake rocked Uchturpan county in Aksu prefecture shortly after 2 a.m., the China Earthquake Networks Center said. The U.S. Geological Survey said the area’s largest quake in the past century was also magnitude 7.1 and occurred in 1978, about 200 kilometers to the north of Tuesday’s epicenter. A 6.2 magnitude earthquake that struck Gansu province in December killed 151 people and was China’s deadliest quake in nine years.
