MANAGUA: An earthq-uake struck Nicaragua early Monday, damaging at least seven houses in and around the capital Managua, but there were no immediate reports of deaths or serious injuries.

The quake follows two others late last week. An official at Nicaragua’s seismological authority said that the magnitude was 5.6 and that the shallow depth of its epicentre had caused a greater impact.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake struck some 6 km northwest of Managua at a depth of 14 km. The USGS registered the quake at magnitude 5.1. (Reuters)
