A strong earthquake rocked Bhutan on Monday, blocking access roads in the mountainous Asian kingdom and killing at least eight people, the country's home minister told CNN.
Rescue teams are en route to the quake-stricken region in eastern Bhutan, but they could be delayed by closed roads. The quake sent boulders down the hillsides, blocking access to some of the remote, hilly regions, said Bhutan's home minister, Minjur Dorji.
The strong quake destroyed many homes and damaged monasteries, homes and dzongs -- Bhutanese forts.
