A major earthquake has struck eastern Nepal, two weeks after more than 8,000 people were killed in a devastating quake.<\/p>\n

The latest earthquake hit near the town of Namche Bazar, near Mount Everest.<\/p>\n

The US Geological Survey said it had a magnitude of 7.4. An earthquake on 25 April, centred in western Nepal, had a magnitude of 7.8.<\/p>\n

The latest tremor was felt as far away as the Indian capital Delhi, as well as Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Strong tremors were felt in the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, which was badly damaged in last month’s earthquake.<\/p>\n

“This is a really big one,” Prakash Shilpakar, the owner of a craft shop in Kathmandu, told the Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n

Reports said people rushed from buildings in Kathmandu as the quake struck at 12:35 local time (07:50 GMT).<\/p>\n

The epicentre of the latest earthquake was 83km (52 miles) east of Kathmandu, in a rural area close to the Chinese border.<\/p>\n

It struck at a depth of 18.5km (11.5 miles), according to the US Geological Survey.<\/p>\n
