Repeated Earthquake in Ecuador
While survivors of an earlier deadly quake that killed 587 people demanded for food, water and medicine in parts of the disaster zone, a powerful earthquake measuring 6.1 magnitude struck off Ecuador’s disaster-stricken coast.
The US Geological Survey said the latest quake hit about 100 km north-northwest of Portoviejo and at a depth of
10 km.
There were neither immediate reports of damage nor tsunami warning.
President Rafael Correa said on Twitter that three aftershocks were registered on Thursday night, adding “have strength!”.
Saturday’s deadly quake was a massive 7.8 magnitude.
