Tremors rock southern Xinjiang
Print Edition
TREMORS were felt in the southern parts of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region last night after a 6.7-magnitude quake hit Kyrgyzstan at 7:17pm, but no casualties were reported.
The epicenter was monitored at 39.43 degrees north latitude and 73.40 degrees east longitude, with a depth of 10 kilometers.
“The tremors lasted for more than a minute. Almost everyone in the neighborhood ran downstairs and the courtyard was soon crowded with people,” said Muradin Muhammat Turdi, a resident in Wuqia County, Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture of Kizilsu.
The county is close to the epicenter.
Turdi said he was surfing the web when the quake struck. “The computer screen shook violently. I hid myself in a corner of the bathroom for a moment, but as the tremors continued, I ran downstairs.”
“I felt dizzy for a few seconds,” said Feng Zhuoyi, a village official in the outskirts of Kashgar City, about 200km from Kyrgyzstan.
Feng was in her office when the quake struck.
“The villagers yelled for me to leave my office immediately. But tremors were felt clearly even in the open space outside the office building.”
