Several killed as earthquake hits India, Nepal

At least seven people have been killed in Nepal and northern parts of India after a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck the region.

Five people died in Nepal, including three crushed when a wall of the British embassy compound collapsed in the capital, Kathmandu.
At least two people died in the states of Sikkim and Bihar, officials said.
Several minor earthquakes have hit the region this year, but none have caused major damage.
In Kathmandu, 270km (170 miles) west of the epicentre, buildings were evacuated and traffic came to a standstill.
"Four people were injured when a wall collapsed after the quake. All of them were rushed to hospital but three died during treatment," Kedar Rijal, the chief of Kathmandu police, told Reuters.
One of the victims was an eight-year-old child.
