An earthquake hit a remote mountains region of Nepal early on Tuesday afternoon, triggering landslides and toppling buildings less than three weeks after the country was ravaged by its worst quake in decades.

Footage released by the Canadian Red Cross showed dirt and rocks rolling down a mountain near Dhunche village in northern Nepal. Nepal's Home Ministry has raised the death toll from Tuesday's quake to at least 42, while saying another 1,117 people had been injured.
