Jajarkot, Nepal—At least 157 people were killed in an overnight earthquake that struck a remote pocket of Nepal, officials said, as security forces rushed to assist with rescue efforts.
Locals frantically dug through rubble in the dark to pull survivors from the wreckage of collapsed homes and buildings, as others crouched outside for safety. Security forces were deployed on foot and in helicopters to assist with search and rescue operations. “It came when we were sleeping,” Kamala Oli, a woman cradling her infant child at a hospital treating survivors, told AFP.
