At least four people were killed by a new earthquake in Nepal on Tuesday, according to the  International Organization for Migration (IOM).

"According to the reports that we have received from the ground, four people have been killed due to collapsed buildings," IOM spokesman Paul Dillon told AFP.

All the deaths were in the Chautara district, east of Kathmandu, which suffered huge damage in another quake on April 25 which killed more than 8,000 people.
