Two shallow earthquakes hit a remote area of China's Qinghai province on Tuesday, with authorities reporting no casualties or collapsed buildings so far.
The first earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.7, struck Xinghai County in northwestern China's Qinghai province at 11:16 a.m. local time (03:16 GMT), according to the China Earthquake Networks Centre.
A second, slightly stronger 5.8-magnitude quake followed about 18 minutes later at the same site, the centre said. Both earthquakes had a focal depth of 10 kilometres (6.2 miles).
The epicentre was in a sparsely populated, high-altitude area about 244 kilometres (152 miles) from Xining, Qinghai's provincial capital. State-run Xinhua news agency said noticeable tremors were felt in Xining.
Authorities had not received reports of casualties or building collapses, and public order remained stable overall, Xinhua reported. Emergency response teams were travelling to the epicentre.
Local Chinese reports, including Xinhua and China Daily, also cited the China Earthquake Networks Centre as saying the 5.8-magnitude quake was monitored at 35.35 degrees north latitude and 99.58 degrees east longitude.
