At least six persons were killed when a powerful 6.6-magnitude earthquake jolted the remote mountainous region of western Nepal early Wednesday, close to where Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba was campaigning for the upcoming elections.
The tremors were also felt in neighbouring Dhangadhi and Kailali districts. The earthquake that was felt mildly in Kathmandu and parts of India has also caused damage to dozens of other houses in the district. Get more World News and Business News on Zee Business.
