A strong earthquake has shaken northeastern India and Nepal, killing at least 16 people, damaging buildings and sending politicians in Kathmandu, Nepal's capital, running into the streets.

The earthquake, with a preliminary magnitude of 6.8, was felt on Sunday night across north India, in the cities of Guwahati, Kolkata and the capital of New Delhi.
