BEIJING: At least 389 have been killed so far and hundreds injured when a high intensity earth quake struck the south western part of China on Sunday, TheNewsTribe reported.
The resources of the US Geological Survey said the quake struck about 11km north-west of Wenping in Yunnan province at 16:30 local time (08:30 GMT).
