BEIJING (AP) - A moderate earthquake jolted southwest China on Friday, killing two people and destroying homes in an area still recovering from damage caused by a temblor last month, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
The magnitude-5.1 quake struck Yanjin county in Yunnan province shortly before 2 p.m., Xinhua said.
"The quake was strongly felt," Cheng Lianyuan, a local official, was quoted as saying. "Some big rocks from the mountains rolled down and destroyed many parts of the road."
