A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck China's Tibetan-inhabited region of Qinghai.
The epicentre of the quake was in Yushu prefecture and struck at a depth of 24.8 kilometres (15.4 miles),
Tibetan plateau.
China Central Television said the earthquake was felt strongly in the region, but did not immediately report damages or fatalities.
The quake was not an aftershock related to last year's temblor, it added.
