Kathmandu: A 5.9-magnitude earthquake jolted Nepal’s capital Kathmandu and adjoining areas on Wednesday, forcing many people to rush out of their homes for safety, local media reports said.
The epicenter of the quake was on the Nepal-China border in Sindhupalchowk district, My Republica newspaper reported.
The earthquake was felt in the Kathmandu Valley and neighbouring districts at 3:07 pm on Wednesday, the paper said.
