The Tibetan plateau is regularly shaken by earthquakes, but casualties are usually minimal because so few people live there. Troops have been dispatched to the area.

青藏高原地区经常发生地震，但每次地震造成的伤亡人数都比较小，因为那里人口稀疏。中国已指派军队前去抗震抢险。

Many residents of the remote area could be left without shelter in temperatures that hover near freezing in Yushu, and even colder in the high mountain villages.

Government officials told state media the majority of houses have been badly damaged.
