Quick Summary:

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.

In Nepal, authorities asked officials in the mountainous area near the epicenter to search for any casualties or damage.

The US Geological Survey said the earthquake measured magnitude 7.1 and was relatively shallow at a depth of about 10 kilometers (6 miles).
