BEIJING - A magnitude 6.3 earthquake hit the northwestern Chinese ‌province of Qinghai on Tuesday, killing at least one person and injuring four, as rescuers rushed to the site ​in search of trapped survivors.

The quake struck a high-altitude area in the prefecture of Haixi ⁠in Qinghai at a depth of 10 km ​at 5:06 p.m. Beijing time (0906 GMT) on Tuesday, the China Earthquake Networks Centre said.

Initial checks showed transport, communication, water and power lines within 50 km of the epicentre ​were operating normally, local newspaper Qinghai Daily said late on Tuesday.

Some 320 people are now deployed for the ‌search ⁠operation, according to state broadcaster CCTV.

State media previously reported that all workers at coal mines near the epicentre have been evacuated and authorities are assessing casualties and property damage.

The ⁠quake was followed by over a dozen aftershocks including one of magnitude 4.9.

Authorities dispatched tents, beds and blankets to quake-hit areas ⁠and got companies and charities to provide food and water for affected residents.

The epicentre was near Da ⁠Qaidam, home to the mineral-rich Emerald Lake, a popular stop on the Qinghai-Gansu tourist route.
