Aftershock flattens 71,000 homes
52 minutes ago
A powerful aftershock destroyed tens of thousands of homes in central China, causing hundreds of new casualties and straining recovery efforts from the country’s worst earthquake in three decades.
The fresh devastation came after a magnitude 5.8 aftershock - among the most powerful recorded since the initial May 12 quake, according to the US Geological Survey. The China National Seismic Network said the aftershock was the strongest of dozens in the nearly two weeks after the disaster.
