An earthquake of magnitude 6.6 in Nepal early on Wednesday (November 9) killed four children and two adults and seriously injured five others as several houses collapsed in the western district of Doti.
Footage from the Nepali army showed mud and brick houses destroyed by the quake in the country and rescuers digging through the rubble to look for survivors. At least two people are reported missing, according to Nepali’s army spokesperson Narayan Silwal.
Nepal’s seismological centre set the earthquake at a magnitude of 6.6. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) had pegged the earthquake at a magnitude of 5.6.
The quake was centred about 158 km (100 miles) northeast of Pilibhit, a populous city in the neighbouring Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, and occurred at a depth of 10 km, EMSC added. There were no reports of damage on the Indian side, though the quake woke up many residents of the capital New Delhi.
