At 09:05 (Beijing Time, hereafter, BJT) on 7 January 2025, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Tingri County, Shigatse City, Tibet. As of 19:00 (BJT) on 7 January, 126 people had been killed, 3,609 houses had collapsed, and 188 people had been injured to varying degrees.

The International Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals (CBAS) activated its emergency framework to capture the post-disaster GLI images of the affected area (7 January and 12 January 2025). The comparisons between the post-disaster images and the pre-disaster archived GLI images (27 December 2024) were made.
