Last week, a powerful magnitude-6.8 earthquake struck Dingri County in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region, triggering more than 3,600 aftershocks in the affected areas. Li Dewen from the National Institute of Natural Hazards has highlighted that this region is part of an active seismic zone, which not only increases the likelihood of ongoing tremors but also necessitates vigilance regarding the impacts of glaciers and other environmental factors. The sustained aftershock activity underscores the region's geologic volatility and the importance of preparedness in mitigating potential environmental and infrastructural challenges.
