A powerful earthquake in Tibet has killed at least 95 people, with many still trapped, as aftershocks shake the province and neighbouring Nepal.

About 130 others were reported to have been injured when the 7.1-magnitude quake struck on Tuesday morning, Chinese authorities said.

About 1,500 fire and rescue workers were deployed to search for people in the rubble after around 1,000 houses were damaged, the Chinese Ministry of Emergency Management said.

Both the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the China Earthquake Networks Center said the epicentre was about 50 miles northeast of Mount Everest, near the border.
