Another earthquake hit Nepal

A major earthquake has struck eastern Nepal,
near Mount Everest, two weeks after more than
8,000 died in a devastating quake.
At least four people have been killed and an
unknown number injured, according to aid
agencies.
The latest earthquake hit near the town of
Namche Bazaar, near Mount Everest.
The US Geological Survey said it had a magnitude
of 7.3. An earthquake on 25 April, centred in
western Nepal, had a magnitude of 7.8.
The latest tremor was felt in northern India and
Bangladesh.
In the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, which was
badly damaged last month, people rushed out of
buildings as the quake struck at 12:35 local time
(07:50 GMT).
