No casualties have been reported in Monday's earthquake measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale in Medog County of the Tibet Autonomous Region, despite 13 aftershocks, a county government official said Tuesday.

A preliminary investigation indicates that warehouse has collapsed and a number of buildings have been damaged after the quake which occurred at 17:03 (Beijing Time) on Monday.

As Medog is the only county in China that has no access to highways, relief work is under great pressure, said the official.
