(Bloomberg) -- An earthquake in Nepal on Tuesday killed at least 36 people and injured more than 1,000, a little over two weeks after thousands died in an even more powerful temblor.
The 7.3 magnitude quake at 12:35 p.m. Indian time was centered 76 kilometers (47 miles) east-northeast of Kathmandu at a depth of 15 kilometers, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Tremors were felt as far away as India’s capital New Delhi.
“Some buildings have fallen down,” Abhay Kumar, a spokesman at India’s embassy in Kathmandu, said by phone from the city. “We haven’t gotten any word of what things are like outside” Nepal’s capital, he said.
