Havana, December 21 (RHC) -- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, through his X account, sent his condolences to the people and government of China after the earthquake that struck northwest China, killing at least 127 people.

"We send our heartfelt condolences to the people and government of China for the terrible earthquake that occurred in Gansu and Qinghai provinces. Receive all our solidarity," the president said in his account on the social network X.

Both provinces in northwest China felt the brunt of an earthquake of magnitude 6.2 on the Richter scale yesterday.

Search operations continue as numerous aftershocks and temperatures of minus 10 degrees Celsius have been recorded in recent hours, making the work of specialists difficult.

The telluric movement left so far 113 dead in the province of Gansu and 14 in Qinghai, in addition to hundreds of injured who are being treated on site, in nearby health centers or in hospitals. (Source:PL)
