A strong earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale struck Dayao County of southwest China's Yunnan Province at 8:28 pm Thursday, according to China's seismological stations.

 

The epicenter was located at Liuqie Township, some 45 kilometers of Dayao County.

 

Communication to the quake-hit area has been cut off and the quake was felt in Kunming, the province's capital.
