BEIJING: A 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck northeast China Saturday at a shallow depth of 12.5 kilometres, the US Geological Survey said.
The quake hit at 6:04 am (2204 GMT Friday) 34 kilometres (21 miles) north of Changling in Jilin province.
USGS estimated the earthquake may have caused some damage but there was a low likelihood of casualties.
A magnitude 6.6 earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan province killed about 200 people in April, five years after almost 90,000 people were killed by a huge tremor in the same province.
