Earthquake of magnitude 5.5 strikes Tibet, says GFZ

An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 struck Tibet in western China on Saturday, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) said.

The quake was at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles), said GFZ, which initially recorded the magnitude at 5.7.

China, which seized control of Tibet in 1950, calls the region Xizang.
