Magnitude 5.7 Earthquake Struck Puerto Rico
An earthquake using a preliminary magnitude of 5.7 struck the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico early Sunday, the U.S. Geological Survey stated.
The quake hit at 1:16 a.m. (0516 GMT) four miles (six kilometers) in the tiny community of Espino on the western side with the island and 63 miles (101 kilometers) from the capital, San Juan. It was recorded at a depth of 68 miles (110 kilometers).
There have been no immediate reports of injuries or harm. The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center stated it did not assume a tsunami, but local tsunamis triggered by underwater landslides were possible in coastal locations close to the epicenter.
