So far, 19 people were injured, including four seriously. Another 9,675 others had to evacuate from their homes and were unable to return Saturday.

A 4.3-magnitude quake hit Yiliang county in Kunming, the provincial capital, at about 2:19 a.m. Friday. More than 1,700 people were affected and nearly 1,300 homes were damaged.

Another tremor measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale struck Ruili city on the China-Myanmar border at 4:20 a.m. Friday. About 94,000 residents were affected. The quake flattened 37 homes and caused damage to some 25,000 others.

Local governments allocated 200,000 yuan (nearly US$30,000) for quake-relief. They were distributing tents, quilts, clothes and other supplies.

Yunnan's neighboring province of Guizhou also suffered a 4.0-magnitude quake at about 8 p.m. Friday, but no casualties were reported. Damage reports are pending.
