Baku-APA. A small earthquake in southwestern China has forced the evacuation of 64,500 people after damaging hundreds of homes, state media said on Wednesday, APA reports quoting news.yahoo.com website.

The 4.8 magnitude tremor struck the Dehong region of Yunnan province on Tuesday afternoon, bringing down one house and seriously damaging 229. More than 400 homes were slightly damaged, state news agency Xinhua said.
