At least 14 people have been injured when a 5.5-magnitude earthquake jolted southwest China's Yunnan Province yesterday, according to Xinhua news agency.
The China Earthquake Networks Center said it hit Cangyuan, an autonomous county where many of China's Wa ethnic group live, at 6:24pm. A total of 1,000 tents, 1,000 tarpaulins and 2,000 quilts sent by the provincial disaster-relief office are on the way to the area. An emergency team has also been dispatched. Cangyuan, which borders Myanmar, is sparsely populated.
