A moderate earthquake rattled northwestern China on Wednesday but no injuries
or damage were reported, state television said.
The magnitude-5.2 temblor struck Delingha, a city in Qinghai province, at
5:23 a.m. (2123 GMT Tuesday), China Central Television reported.
A magnitude-5.0 temblor hit Delingha last month and a magnitude-6.6 quake hit
last April, damaging about 1,000 houses. In both cases, no one was killed or
injured.
The city, which is close to the provincial capital of Xining, is in one of
China's most sparsely populated regions.
