Ongoing alert in China — started August 26, 2026 at 2:52 AM. This page updates as the situation evolves.
What's happening
A magnitude 5.2 earthquake occurred in the Xizang-Nepal border region on August 26, 2026. The shallow depth of the quake may have triggered landslides in the area. The affected region extends approximately 200 kilometers around the epicenter.
If you are currently on site, be aware that aftershocks are possible following an earthquake of this magnitude. Ground instability from landslides presents an additional hazard in mountainous terrain. Avoid areas affected by recent ground movement and stay alert to changing conditions.
Follow all instructions from local authorities and emergency services. If you experience strong shaking, move to open ground away from buildings and steep slopes. For any health concerns, contact local medical services. Monitor official updates from your embassy or local government.
