Kathmandu, Rabi'I 08, 1437, December 19, 2015, SPA -- Western Nepal was rocked by a 5.5-magnitude earthquake early Saturday, reviving fears from a devastating quake in April that killed more than 8,000 people. No casualties were reported initially, but the still-fresh memories of hundreds of quakes and aftershocks this year haunted some. "The epicentre is a day's walk from the district headquarters so we've dispatched a police team to check if there are casualties,"said Dhan Prasad Sharma Poudel, chief district officer of Bajura district, by phone to dpa. Several other districts in the western part of the country felt the quake. --SPA 13:21 LOCAL TIME 10:21 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
