    The latest tremor was felt as far away as the Indian capital Delhi, as well as Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.Strong tremors were felt in the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, that was badly damaged in last month's earthquake.

    "This is a really big one," Prakash Shilpakar, the owner of a craft shop in Kathmandu, told the Reuters news agency.

    At least four people have been killed and an unknown number injured, according to aid agencies.The latest earthquake hit near the town of Namche Bazaar, near Mount Everest.

    The US Geological Survey said it had a magnitude of 7.3. An earthquake on 25 April, centred in western Nepal, had a magnitude of 7.8.

    The latest tremor was also felt in northern India and Bangladesh.In the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, which was badly damaged last month, people rushed out of buildings as the quake struck at 12:35 local time (07:50 GMT).

    The BBC's Yogita Limaye, who was in Nepal's mountains when the latest earthquake struck, tweeted: "We're safe. Did feel the earth shake for quite a long time. Saw dust and stones flying off mountain near by."She told BBC World News: "The earth shook and it shook for a pretty long time.

    "I can completely understand the sense of panic. We have been seeing tremors: it's been two and a half weeks since the first quake."But this one really felt like it went on for a really long time. People have been terrified.

    You could feel it really strongly. It went on for about 25 seconds:shocked: - the ground was shaking, the birds started squawking, you could feel the buildings shaking.There was another aftershock and people were all out on the street.

    That aftershock really added anxiety and panic. People started crying.They are calm but you can tell they are all scared.
