At least 119 people were killed in an overnight earthquake that struck a remote pocket of Nepal, officials said Saturday, as security forces deployed to assist with a frantic rescue effort.
The 5.6-magnitude quake hit the far west of the Himalayan country late Friday and was measured by the US Geological Survey (USGS) at just 18 kilometres (11 miles) deep.
