  More than 27,200 buildings were damaged and 3,612 homes collapsed. In some villages, 80 to 90 percent of homes were razed. More than 1,000 homes collapsed in Tingri County, and five sections of national and provincial roads were damaged by landslides, collapses and subsidence. Altogether, 206 villages across 26 townships in five counties were affected. In Dramtso, 100 died, including two nuns due to a convent collapse and 30 more in Gurong village, where all homes were damaged, half of them severely. In Lhatse County, debris covered streets and vehicles, and a hotel was damaged. More than 170 China Mobile stations were disabled by the earthquake, although mobile services were restored nine hours later. Cracks were discovered in five hydropower dams after they were inspected, and three were drained. At one dam in Tingri County, a tilted wall prompted 1,500 residents across six villages to evacuate.
  
  In Nepal, 13 people were injured, including 11 in Bara, and one each from Kavrepalanchok and Kathmandu. Two homes were destroyed, and 12 others and a police station were damaged across the country. Near the base camp of Mount Everest, a climber on the mountain's Nepalese side saw avalanches. In the Samastipur district of Bihar, India, several homes were slightly damaged. In Bhutan, two avalanches occurred above the Bechung glacier on a mountain in Lunana.
  
  The earthquake was widely felt in much of South Asia. In Kathmandu, about 400 km (250 mi) from the epicentre, residents fled their homes. Strong shaking was felt near Mount Everest, including Lobuche and Namche, Thimphu in Bhutan, and the northern Indian states of Bihar, Assam, and West Bengal. Shaking was also felt in Dhaka, Bangladesh and other parts of the country.
  
  On 13 January, two aftershocks measuring M 4.9 and M 5.0 caused some houses to collapse in Tingri County.
