Experts say that the Yunnan earthquake belongs to the pre-main residual earthquake sequence, and it is unlikely that a bigger earthquake will follow.

CCTV News:According to the official measurement by China Seismological Network, at 9: 48 last night (May 21st), an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 occurred in Yangbi County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province, with a focal depth of 8 kilometers. The epicenter was located at 25.67 degrees north latitude and 99.87 degrees east longitude.

According to the China Seismological Network, as of 8: 00 this morning (May 22), there were still aftershocks in the area. Yang Guozong, secretary of the Dali State Party Committee, said that there were obvious earthquakes in 12 counties and cities in the whole state.

In addition, Kunming, Baoshan, Lijiang and other places in Yunnan, as well as neighboring Panzhihua and Liangshan, have obvious earthquakes.

A press conference was held in Dali this morning. According to preliminary statistics, as of 6: 00 this morning, the Yangbi 6.4 earthquake in Yunnan killed three people, including two in Yangbi County and one in yong ping. Another 28 people were injured. At present, 192 houses have collapsed.

Wang Xi, a reporter from the General Station, has arrived at the resettlement site of the Dadizi village group in Yangbi County, which is located in the epicenter. Let’s connect with Wang Xi immediately and ask him to introduce the resettlement situation of the local affected people.

Wang Xi, a reporter from the General Station, said that tents for temporary resettlement sites have been set up. There are 380 centralized resettlement sites in Yangbi County, and more than 86,000 people will be resettled centrally and dispersed.

Since May 18th, there have been several earthquakes in Yangbi County, Dali Prefecture, and an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 occurred last night. The last earthquake of magnitude 6 or above in western Yunnan was in 2014. So what is the cause of this Yunnan earthquake? What is the difference from previous earthquakes? Is it related to the Qinghai earthquake? Come and connect with the reporter who is being interviewed by China Seismological Network Center immediately, and bring us an interpretation.

CCTV reporter Cui Shijie interviewed Liu Jie, a researcher at China Seismological Network Center. Liu Jie said that the western Yunnan region is a multi-earthquake area, and the Yunnan earthquake belongs to the pre-main residual earthquake sequence. It is unlikely that a bigger earthquake will occur in Yunnan, and the Qinghai earthquake has nothing to do with the Yunnan earthquake.
