A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck Tibet on Wednesday, with tremors also felt in Nepal, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.
The earthquake was recorded at a depth of 35 kilometres, or around 21.75 miles. There were no immediate reports of casualties or major damage following the tremor.
The earthquake comes just days after severe flooding affected parts of the Nepal-Tibet region. The latest tremor has brought renewed attention to conditions in the mountainous Himalayan area.
Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation as the region remains exposed to natural disasters and the challenges posed by difficult terrain.
The earthquake is the latest event to affect the Nepal-Tibet region, where authorities are keeping a close watch on developments following the recent flooding.
