About 130 herdsmen from Akto County, hit by a 6.7-magnitude earthquake Friday night, have been evacuated to a safer place, said local sources on Saturday. The herdsmen were from Muji village, where a villager was killed by a collapsing house. As of Saturday noon, the earthquake had felled 100 houses and damaged another 124. Operation of a mine about 35 kilometers away from the epicenter was suspended. Passengers on some trains also felt the tremor. To ensure safety of passengers, some sections of the railway were temporarily closed, and at least three trains were stopped. The epicenter is in remote highland area that is sparsely populated. In Akto 96 percent of the area is mountain. The China Earthquake Administration has activated a level-III emergency response and sent a team to the area. An emergency response was also initiated by the regional seismological bureau.
