Kathmandu: The 7.3 magnitude earthquake that shook Nepal and parts of North India on Tuesday terrified residents who were witnesses to a devastating earthquake on April 25. The 7.3-magnitude quake struck at 12:35 pm, some 76 kilometres (47 miles) east of Kathmandu, the US Geological Survey said, more than two weeks after a 7.8-magnitude quake which killed more than 8,000 people.

Tuesday's quake was felt as far away as New Delhi, and officials said it caused buildings to collapse in Tibet in neighbouring China. A second tremor of 6.3-magnitude struck around half an hour later, followed by yet more aftershocks, according to the USGS.
