An earthquake with a magnitude of 4.8 was felt in Antigua and Barbuda and the French island of Martinique Saturday night, but there were no immediate reports of injury of destruction.
The US-based National Earthquake Information Centre said that the quake occurred at 7.50 pm (local time) and had a depth of 20 kilometres. It was located 17.42 north, 62.01 west.
Residents in Antigua and Barbuda said the tremor lasted more than a minute.
Late last month, Antigua and Barbuda and several other countries in the Leeward Islands were rocked by a quake with a magnitude of 5.1 and Saturday night’s earthquake is the latest in a series of tremors that have occurring in several Caribbean countries in recent months.
Earlier this month Trinidad and Tobago was shaken by a quake with a magnitude of 3.7 as officials warn residents of the oil rich twin-island country to be prepared for a major earthquake.
