BEIJING – The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude 6.9 earthquake has struck China's western Qinghai province.
There were no immediate reports of casualties Wednesday.
The USGS reported on its Web site that the epicenter of the temblor was located 235 miles (380 kilometers) south-southeast of Golmud, a large city in Qinghai, at a depth of 29 miles (47 kilometers).
A magnitude-7.9 quake in Sichuan province in 2008 left almost 90,000 people dead or missing.
