Earthquake Hits Tibet

BEIJING -- (Agence France Presse) An earthquake measuring 5.2 on the Richter scale has rocked Tibet, bringing the number of
strong quakes to hit western China in the last nine days to five, the State Seismological Bureau reported Tuesday.

The latest temblor struck at 6.24 p.m. Monday (1024 GMT) in the isolated Tibetan district of Xainza, north of Bhutan.

A tremor greater than 5.0 is capable of causing considerable damage in built-up areas, but no there were no reports of damage from
the remote area.

On Sept. 27, a quake measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale struck Cona county in Tibet. This was followed by a quake, measuring 5.5
which hit the Tibetan prefecture of Xigaze (Shigatse) on Sept. 30.

On Oct. 2, an earthquake measuring 5.3 hit Yunnan province, which lies to the south of Tibet.

The following day, Xinjiang -- which lies to the north of Tibet -- was hit by a quake measuring 5.2 on the Richter sale. ( (c) 1998
