The death toll from an earthquake in Sichuan, China, has risen to 65 as aftershocks shake the province.

On Monday, September 5, 2022, falling rocks are seen on a road near Lengqi Town in Luding County of southwest China's Sichuan Province in this photo released by China's Xinhua News Agency.

 According to Chinese network CCTV, at least 65 people have been reported dead after an earthquake struck China's southern Sichuan region on Monday.

Aftershocks were still felt on Tuesday, according to state media, a day after the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported a 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck the region southwest of Sichuan's capital Chengdu at 1 p.m. Monday.

According to official media, 248 people have been injured so far, and at least 12 people are still missing.

Images showed rescue workers transporting injured locals across temporary bridges in Luding County, near the epicentre of the earthquake.

According to the State Council of China, China activated a Level 3 emergency response and dispatched rescue workers to Luding County on Monday. According to Chinese network CGTN, rescue teams are assisting in the clearing of roads that have been obstructed by landslides caused by the earthquake.


Sichuan, a province of 84 million people, has already had a difficult summer before the big earthquake. The province has seen drought and the worst heatwaves in 60 years in the last two months.

The Langmenshan Fault, which runs across Sichuan's mountains, makes the area prone to earthquakes.

The 7.9-magnitude earthquake that rocked Sichuan in 2008 was one of the most damaging in the country's history. Nearly 90,000 people were murdered, and earthquakes could be felt in locations 1,450 kilometres (900 miles) away.

According to state media at the time, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Sichuan last year, killing three people and wounding 60.
