An earthquake struck Nepal Tuesday, weeks after the country was devastated by a massive earthquake, according to the United States Geological Survey.
The 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck at a depth of 11.5 miles, according to the USGS. A 5.6-magnitude aftershock followed 12 minutes later, as well as a 6.3-magnitude aftershock 19 minutes after the initial earthquake.
The epicenter of the earthquake is located near the town of Namche Bazaar, close to Mount Everest and about 47 miles east of the capital of Kathmandu. In Kathmandu, Tuesday's quake sent people rushing outside of their homes into the streets. Police gave no immediate estimate on damage.
