5.5 quake hits southern Caribbean, no damage reported

A 5.5-magnitude earthquake has shaken the southern Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela but caused no reported damage.
The US Geological Survey said the earthquake hit today morning just before 10 am local time about 60 kilometers southeast of Aruba.
It occurred at a depth of a little more than 10 kilometers offshore from the city of La Vela de Coro.
The quake was felt as far away as the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, as well in Aruba, Curacao and other nearby islands.
It followed a smaller earthquake that occurred in the same region before dawn today.
