At least 11 people have been killed and more than a hundred injured after a magnitude 5.7 earthquake hit northern Tanzania.
The
quake struck 43km from Bukoba, a city on the western shore of Lake
Victoria on Saturday, at a depth of 10km, the US Geological Survey said.
Tremors
were felt as far away as western Kenya and parts of Uganda, which share
the waters of Lake Victoria, and also in Kigali, Rwanda.
The Associated Press news agency reported that the 11 who died were in brick structures, citing a regional police commander.
Pictures posted on Twitter showed buildings with collapsed walls and large cracks.
