BEIJING -- An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.3 hit the border between China and Myanmar early Wednesday, the US Geological Survey said.

The tremor struck at 5:35 am (2135 GMT) 224 kilometers (139 miles) from the city of Dali in southwest China and 65 kilometers from Myitkyina in Myanmar, according to a statement on the USGS website.

The USGS said the depth of the quake was about eight kilometers (five miles).
