                         Another Earthquake Jolts China

   by VOA News

   China state media reports an earthquake measuring a magnitude of 6.6
   jolted northwest China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region early
   Saturday.
   State television reports the quake lasted for more than 20 seconds,
   damaging buildings and residences.

   Reports say the earthquake was felt strongly in Urumqi, the regional
   capital of Xinjiang. Residents say TV signals were affected and
   furniture was shaking.

   In Wujiaqu City near Urumqi, some residents slept outdoors.

   Seventeen people have been injured, one seriously, in the quake. But no
   deaths have been reported. Officials have sent  teams to the quake-hit
   area to investigate the casualties and damage.

   Chinese officials report 32 trains were suspended after the quake for
   safety reasons, and railway authorities have dispatched personnel to
   check facilities.
