Crews are working to clear roads in southern Tibet following another major earthquake which hit neighboring Nepal.

The quake, measured at a magnitude 7.3, hit on Tuesday just 10-kilometers from the Chinese border.

On top of leaving one dead and three others hurt in Gyirong County, the quake has also cut off the road linking Nyalam County and the border crossing in Zham.

The damaged road is the only highway linking Tibet and neighboring Sichuan.
