BEIJING: An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 struck Tibet early on Monday, the China Earthquake Administration (CEA) said.
The quake hit the city of Shigatse at 5:11am (2111 GMT), at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles).
Authorities have dispatched emergency response services and no casualties have been reported so far, CEA said.
In January, more than 120 died in a 6.8-magnitude earthquake that struck Tibet's Tingri county, around 240 km (149 miles) away from Shigatse.
