Dar Es Salaam: A 5.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Tanzania, close to Lake Victoria and the border with Uganda, has killed at least 14 people and injured 200, local authorities said yesterday.

A group of 15 boys, who were secondary-school boarders in the worst-hit city of Bukoba, were believed to be among the casualties. Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa joined mourners at the Bukoba stadium later yesterday.
