- There were two confirmed deaths with one still missing, and four people were sent to the hospital, although none of them had life-threatening injuries, CCTV and state news agency Xinhua said.
- Thirteen buildings collapsed in the early hours of Monday, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
- Transportation disruptions were also flagged by railway authorities as they inspected the integrity of rail line infrastructure.
- Communication and power lines, water and gas supply, and traffic in the affected area were operating normally, state media reported.
