A magnitude-6.3 earthquake jolted Ecuador’s Pacific coast near Esmeraldas early Friday, sending residents into the streets but causing no immediate damage or tsunami alert, according to the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.
A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck off Ecuador’s northern Pacific coast early Friday, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported. The shock was centered about 25 km northeast of the port city of Esmeraldas at a depth of roughly 23 km.
There were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties, and Ecuador’s oceanographic institute said the event was too small and too deep to trigger a tsunami warning. Residents in Esmeraldas and neighbouring Manabí and Imbabura provinces told local radio they felt short, sharp shaking that rattled windows and sent some people into the streets.
Ecuador sits on the seismically active Pacific “Ring of Fire,” and authorities urged the public to review emergency plans in case of aftershocks.
