China quake kills scores in rural Sichuan
A powerful earthquake has killed more than 150 people and injured several thousand in China's rural south west, officials say.
The quake struck at 08:02 local time (00:02 GMT), with the China Earthquake Administration categorising it as a 7.0-magnitude and the US Geological Survey (USGS) reporting it as 6.6.
Its epicentre was 115km (70 miles) west of provincial capital Chengdu, according to the USGS.
The quake was measured at 12km below the surface, a shallow depth that usually indicates extensive damage.
Many of the collapsed buildings were schools and nurseries, leading to widespread criticism of local government's planning policies.
