There were no immediate reports of new damage or injuries.The Survey reported the aftershock struck at 12:41 a.m. EDT just south of the town of Qingchuan at the relatively shallow depth of about 6 miles.Authorities had earlier begun evacuating people downstream from Tangjiashan lake, formed above the devastated town of Beichuan, after water rose to within 6 feet of flooding its bank.
