More tremors hit Nepal three days after deadly earthquake kill over 150

A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck Nepal on Monday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre said, followed by another slightly weaker temblor, injuring three people, just days after over 150 perished in the country’s worst quake since 2015.

According to Jajarkot police, at least three people sustained minor injuries on Monday, adding: “There are reports of some landslides blocking roads but no deaths so far.”

At least 153 people died and more than 339 were injured in Friday’s 6.4 magnitude quake in the Jajarkot region, according to revised figures, as houses in the area collapsed and buildings as far away as New Delhi in neighbouring India felt aftershocks.

The quake was the deadliest in the Himalayan country since 2015, when about 9,000 people were killed in two earthquakes.
