Magnitude 6.7 earthquake strikes Ecuador: USGS
An earthquake of magnitude 6.7 struck the coast of Ecuador overnight, said the United States Geographical Survey (USGS) on Wednesday. Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa said "small damage" was caused, and added that there was no tsunami warning. The earthquake occurred near the Pacific coast area, where an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 left over 650 dead in April.
