云南地震死傷人數(shù)上升 Deadly Earthquake in Southwestern China

Chinese officials say an earthquake in a remote mountainous region of the country's southwest has killed at least 381 people.

They say more than 1,400 people were injured in Sunday's quake.  Many people are still missing.

The quake's epicenter was in Yunnan province.  It caused several buildings to collapse, including at least one school.

The U.S. Geological Survey said Sunday's earthquake had a magnitude of 6.1.  Chinese authorities said the magnitude was higher.

Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said the earthquake was the strongest to hit Yunnan in 14 years.  

The official Xinhua news agency said that the epicenter was in Longtoushan town in Yunnan's Ludian county.

It says the government is sending thousands of tents, folding beds, quilts and coats to the affected area.

Southwestern China is frequently struck by earthquakes.  In 2012 an earthquake in the Yunnan region killed at least 80 people.
