Updated: 2008-12-26 13:57 KUNMING - An earthquake measuring 4.9 on the Richter Scale injured nine people early Friday in Ruili, a city on China-Myanmar border in the southwestern Yunnan Province, the local earthquake bureau said. The quake hit a village about 10 kilometers from Ruili's city proper in Dai-Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture of Dehong at 4:20 a.m., the provincial seismic network reported. The city's Party chief Yang Yueguo said two villagers were seriously wounded and the other seven suffered slight injuries. "It's still unclear who these people are and how they got injured," he said. The quake destroyed the city government's old office building, Yang said. "Other damages are still under investigation." On August 20-21, three moderate earthquakes in the adjacent Yingjiang County killed five people and injured more than 100. |
