6.5-magnitude earthquake in the Pacific Ocean shakes Central America

A strong earthquake measuring 6.5 magnitude struck the Pacific Ocean near the coast of El Salvador, causing tremors felt across Central America, from Nicaragua to Guatemala, on Tuesday.

The epicenter, as reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, was located 27 miles (43 kilometers) south of Intipuca, El Salvador, with a depth of 43 miles (70 kilometers).

This area falls outside the Gulf of Fonseca, which is shared by Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua.

In El Salvador’s capital, residents rushed into the streets as the ground shook, but no immediate reports of damage or injuries were received, the Associated Press reported.

When a radio station opened its phone lines to residents nationwide, there were no immediate reports of victims.
