A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck China’s southern Guangxi region early Monday, killing two people, injuring several others and causing widespread damage that prompted the evacuation of thousands of residents, according to state media reports.

Authorities said four people were injured and more than 7,000 residents were evacuated from Liuzhou following the quake.

Emergency crews completed search operations around midday Monday after rescuers located the final trapped resident — a 91-year-old man — alive and reportedly in stable condition.

Footage broadcast by China Central Television showed excavators clearing piles of debris in affected areas.

Officials said at least 13 buildings collapsed as a result of the earthquake, while landslides triggered by the tremor blocked several roads leading into the region.

Rail services around Liuzhou were also disrupted, with multiple train routes canceled or delayed.

While earthquakes are less common in southern China than in other parts of the country, seismic activity does occasionally affect the region. Stronger quakes are more frequently recorded in western mountainous provinces and in eastern areas closer to Taiwan.

One of China’s deadliest modern earthquakes struck Sichuan Province in 2008, when a 7.9-magnitude quake left more than 87,000 people dead or missing.
