Nepal has been hit by a 7.3 magnitude earthquake.

It comes only a matter of weeks after a 7.8 magnitude quake hit the country, killing over 8,000 people and injuring another 17,000.

Today’s earthquake, which reportedly struck near Mount Everest’s base camp, shook buildings in the capital Kathmandu and caused shock waves as far away as Delhi in India.

Sky News reports that four people have died after buildings collapsed in Chautara, Sindhupalchok. As yet, there are no other reports of any casualties or building damage.
