An aftershock with a magnitude of 5.3 has jolted an area of southwest China devastated by last month's earthquake.
The aftershock rocked Qingchuan county in Sichuan province shortly before 5am.
Two other aftershocks measuring 4.2 and 4.0 on the Richter scale also rocked Qingchuan in the early hours of this morning, the China Earthquake Administration said.
No damage was immediately reported from the aftershock, which is one of over 10,000 to have hit Sichuan since the 12 May quake that registered 7.9 on the Richter scale.
Out of those, there have been 25 aftershocks measuring greater than 5.0.
More than 69,000 people have been killed and millions others left homeless following the quake.
