A 5.1 magnitude earthquake hits Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday morning, according to the University of the West Indies’ Seismic Research Centre (SRC). Both outlets report that there are no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
The quake occurs at 4:14 a.m. local time and is located at approximately 10.67N latitude and 62.53W longitude, at a depth of about 75 km. The earthquake is felt in multiple areas, including around 113 km west of Port of Spain, 77 km east of Carúpano, and about 124 km north-east of Maturín in Venezuela. Jamaica Observer also links the event to recent seismic activity in Venezuela, noting a rising death toll from powerful twin earthquakes in late June.
Nation News largely repeats the SRC details and the lack of immediate impacts, while Jamaica Observer adds additional regional context about where the shaking is reported and the broader earthquake situation in Venezuela.
