    "articleBody": "A 5.3-magnitude earthquake struck Tibet, intensifying the region's distress following recent deadly flash floods. The tremors were also felt in Nepal, which has been grappling with the aftermath of the floods, officials said on September 8.\n\nThe earthquake occurred at a depth of 35 kilometres, according to seismic experts. This event adds to the challenges faced by the region, where short-duration rainfalls and rising temperatures have disrupted the usual weather patterns. Experts monitoring the situation noted an imbalance in rainfall and a temperature increase in Tibet, contributing to the area's vulnerability.\n\nNepal experienced tremors from the earthquake as well, compounding the difficulties caused by the recent floods. Authorities continue to assess the impact and monitor the situation closely.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nDeath toll in Nepal floods rises to 1,344 amid rescue efforts\nDeath toll in Nepal floods rises to 1,344 amid rescue efforts\nJanmashtami Celebrations Across the Country, ISRO Launches EOS-05 Satellite\nIndia to Gain Continuous Earth Monitoring Capability with EOS-05 Satellite",
