BEIJING (AP) - A magnitude-6.5 earthquake struck western Tibet early Friday, damaging homes in a remote town but causing no deaths or injuries, the government said.
The quake hit about 420 miles west of the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, at 4:04 a.m., the earthquake reporting center in Beijing said.
The tremblor cracked the walls of about 50 houses in the town of Tarong, but there were no casualties, the director of the Tibet Seismological Bureau said by telephone from Lhasa.
