A moderate earthquake of 5.3-magnitude rocked central Nepal late last night, sending panic-stricken people out of their homes and bringing back awful memories of the devastating quake of 2015 that killed over 9,000 people in the Himalayan nation. The earthquake struck at 11.53 pm on Tuesday with its epicenter located in Dolakha district, 180 kilometres east of Kathmandu, according to National Seismological Centre.
