Another Strong Earthquake in Nepal

Nepal was hit by another strong earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.3, on May 12, 2015, at 7.05 a.m. (UTC) (9.05 a.m. Swiss time, 12.50 p.m. local time). The epicenter lay 80 kilometers northeast of Kathmandu, close to Mount Everest on the Tibetan border, at a depth of around 15 kilometers. The earthquake originated on the same tectonic boundary between India and Asia as the earthquake of April 25, 2015, and at the same depth on the eastern end of the rupture. This is expected to have caused further damage east of Kathmandu, while strong aftershocks are also expected and a further major earthquake cannot be ruled out.
