LHASA -- A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Dingri county in Shigatse, Southwest China's Xizang autonomous region, at 9:05 am Tuesday, with a depth of 10 km.

The county seat is located 243 km from the city of Shigatse. Spanning about 13,860 square km, Dingri county has 13 townships and 180 administrative villages, with a 181-km-long borderline.

With a population of over 60,000, the county is one of the most populous border counties in Xizang.
