The earthquakes along the Nepal-China border forced residents to evacuate their homes and move to open spaces.
However, so far, no casualties have been reported so far.
a resident Meera Adhikari said, "I was sleeping at the time when the earthquake struck. The bed was shaking and I thought my child was moving the bed. I didn't pay that much attention but the shaking of the window prompted me to think that it's an earthquake. I then hurriedly called my child and evacuated the house and came to the open ground. I am still shaking out of fear and am in shock,"
Another resident, Biplov Adhikari, said, "I was in the toilet, I noticed that the door was shaking... It turned out to be an earthquake. I then hurriedly came down to the open space. My mother also was calling me to get out of the house..."
This is a developing story. Further details are awaited.
