BEIJING (AFP) – An earthquake destroyed homes, killing at least two people and injuring dozens in southwestern Sichuan Province, Chinese state media said. The 6.0-magnitude earthquake hit Luxian County early Thursday morning and was about 6 miles deep. State broadcaster CCTV said 60 people were injured, three of them seriously, and 35 houses collapsed. The epicenter was 120 miles southeast of Chengdu, the provincial capital. Rescue work was underway. Western China is regularly exposed to earthquakes. A 7.9-magnitude earthquake in 2008 killed nearly 90,000 people in Sichuan, many of them in collapsed schools and other poorly constructed buildings.
