"Devastating 7.1 Earthquake Hits China-Kyrgyzstan Border"

A powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck near China's border with Kyrgyzstan, causing multiple injuries, collapsing houses, and downing power lines. The quake, which hit a remote and sparsely populated area, led to heavy tremors felt in Central Asian countries. Rescue efforts are underway, with nearly 200 workers dispatched to the affected zone. The tremors were also felt in cities hundreds of miles away, and the earthquake's epicenter is located in a region predominantly inhabited by Uyghurs, a Muslim ethnic minority targeted by Chinese government crackdowns.
