KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) - Nepal police say at least 1,130 dead in massive earthquake centered outside of Kathmandu.
This is breaking news. Stay tuned for updates. Earlier story below.
A powerful earthquake struck Nepal Saturday, killing at least 926 people across a swath of four countries as the violently shaking earth collapsed houses, leveled centuries-old temples and triggered avalanches on Mt. Everest. It was the worst tremor to hit the poor South Asian nation in over 80 years.
At least 876 people were confirmed dead in Nepal, according to the police. Another 34 were killed in India, 12 in Tibet and two in Bangladesh. Two Chinese citizens died in the Nepal-China border. The death toll is almost certain to rise, said deputy Inspector General of Police Komal Singh Bam.
It was a few minutes before noon when the quake, with a preliminary magnitude of 7.8, began to rumble across the densely populated Kathmandu Valley, rippling through the capital Kathmandu and spreading in all directions -- north toward the Himalayas and Tibet, south to the Indo-Gangetic plains, east toward the Brahmaputra delta of Bangladesh and west toward the historical city of Lahore in Pakistan.

KATHMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A major earthquake hit a remote mountainous region of Nepal on Tuesday, killing at least 42 people, triggering landslides and toppling buildings less than three weeks after the country was ravaged by its worst quake in decades.
Rescue helicopters were immediately sent to districts northeast of the capital of Kathmandu that Nepal believes were hardest hit by the magnitude 7.3 quake.
The government was having trouble contacting people in the area, Home Ministry spokesman Laxmi Dhakal said, but initial reports suggested there was damage in Sindhupalchowk and Dolkha districts.
The Home Ministry raised the death toll from the quake to at least 42 on Tuesday afternoon, while saying another 1,117 people had been injured.
