Two earthquakes have hit northwest China's Shaanxi and Qinghai
provinces. No casualties have yet been reported.

An earthquake measuring 4.4 on the Richter Scale struck Gaoling County

The epicenter was at the depth of about 6 kilometers. The tremor was
felt in the provincial capital Xi'an. Earlier, a 5.1-magnitude quake at
a depth of 6 kilometers jolted the Haixi Mongolian-Tibetan Autonomous
