A magnitude-6.2 earthquake occurred in the Pacific Ocean, south of La Paz Department, El Salvador, at around 11:18 on Jan. 5. The epicenter was about 29 km (18 miles) southwest of Playa Costa Del Sol and 68 km (42 miles) south of San Salvador.

The tremor occurred at a depth of about 49 km (30 miles), and shaking was probably felt in most of El Salvador and areas in southeastern Guatemala, including the capital, Guatemala City, western and southern Honduras, and northwestern Nicaragua.

There have been no initial reports of damage or casualties as a result of the earthquake. It could take several hours until authorities can conduct comprehensive damage assessments, especially in remote areas. Aftershocks are possible over the coming days. The event has not prompted any tsunami advisories.
