A new powerful earthquake hits Nepal
A new powerful earthquake convulsed the traumatized nation of Nepal on Tuesday, leveling buildings already damaged by the devastating quake that killed thousands of people less than three weeks ago.

The magnitude 7.3 earthquake Tuesday was centered in a remote area of eastern Nepal, near the border with China. It struck at a depth of about 15 kilometers (9 miles), the U.S. Geological Survey said, slightly revising its earlier estimates.

Tuesday's earthquake struck about 70 kilometers from Mount Everest, where the April quake set off deadly avalanches.

The extent of the damage near the quake's epicenter wasn't immediately clear Tuesday.

The tremors were felt across the region, including in the Indian capital of New Delhi.

The initial quake was followed by a series of aftershocks, the strongest measuring magnitude 6.3, the USGS said.
