"Devastador sismo de magnitud 7.1 sacude Shigatse, dejando numerosas víctimas en Tíbet"

Los equipos de rescate están llevando a cabo la búsqueda de sobrevivientes tras un fuerte terremoto que ocasionó la muerte de decenas de personas y causó daños en más de 1,000 edificaciones en una región remota del Tíbet, cerca del Everest.

At least 126 people were killed, with another 188 injured, after the earthquake hit the foothills of the Himalayas at around 09:00 local time (01:00 GMT) on Tuesday, according to Chinese state media.

A large-scale rescue operation was launched, with survivors under additional pressure as temperatures were predicted to fall as low as -16C (3.2F) overnight.
