At least 156 people have been killed and thousands more left injured 
after a powerful earthquake jolted China's Sichuan province near the 
same area where a devastating quake struck five years ago.<br /><br />More 
than 5,500 people are reported to have been injured in the earthquake 
which struck mountainous Lushan county shortly after 8am this morning 
local time, and 19 people have been reported missing in the wake of the 
tremor. The earthquake toppled buildings, triggered landslides and 
disrupted phone and power connections in the region.<br />
