          According to the county government, the 5.9-magnitude quake, with an 11km deep epicenter, had damaged dozens of homes as of Saturday afternoon. Tremors were felt in the 15 towns in Mojiang as well as cities including Kunming, the provincial capital.

          The Ministry of Emergency Management has initiated an emergency response and dispatched working teams to the scene. More than 600 policemen, firefighter, medical workers are carrying out resue operations.

          Professional rescue teams equipped with life-sensors, thermal cameras, and excavators, as well as search and rescue dogs also rushed to the quake-stricken areas.
