Deadly earthquake strikes China's Sichuan province

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has killed at least 13 people and injured scores more in China's south-western province of Sichuan.

The quake struck in the sparsely populated north of Sichuan, the US Geological Survey said.

Some reports suggest the death toll could grow. The epicentre was close to an area popular with tourists.

Sichuan province is prone to earthquakes. More than 70,000 people were killed in a quake there in 2008.
