The earthquake had an undersea depth of 40 miles.
Inarajan Mayor Doris Lujan said she has not received initial reports of damage or injury.

There was snow on Mount Washington on Mother’s Day.
There was snow on Mount Washington on Mother’s Day.
More than 30 inches of snow enveloped Mount Washington Observatory this weekend — just days before parts of Massachusetts are expected to have temperatures in the 90s.
The snow started Saturday night at the New Hampshire observatory and continued through Monday, covering the mountain with about 33 inches before stopping, according to a Facebook post from the observatory.
A May snowfall is not unusual at the observatory, said Chris Kimble, a National Weather Service meteorologist. About 12 inches of snow typically falls in May at the observatory, which has an altitude of 6,300 feet.
But this weekend's storm broke a couple weather records, including the largest snowfall for a single day in May.
"In 1967, 22.2 inches fell, and this weekend we got 22.9 and counting," Kimble said.
The record for the largest single-storm snow in May was also broken, he said. From May 21 to 24, 1997, the observatory was hit with 30.6 inches of snow. This weekend, 33.3 inches fell.
So far, over 45 inches of snow have fallen at the observatory this month.

Dubbed the 'Crown of the Continent,' the popular North American tourist attraction was once home to an estimated 150 glaciers back in 1850.
However, studies by the USGS concerning the park's 37 named ice giants suggests an uncertain future for the Rocky Mountain site.
A flash of white bright light appeared over Heping Road as the lightning struck on Thursday
The footage was filmed on May 11 during the rush hours in Liaoning province, Chinese media reported.
Bright sparks were seen pouring down onto the road full of vehicles.
The 23-second clip, posted to Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo, had attracted 37 million views in the past few days.
It was believed to be filmed by the dash cam on a vehicle travelling on Heping Road, Shenyang, at around 5pm on Thursday.
The beginning of the clip shows the car driving down the road during a thunderstorm.
Suddenly a flash of white bright light appeared over the busy street.

The giant dust devil first gathered into clouds of dust before it concentrated into a compact spiral of whirling dust and wind. The phenomenon is usually found in arid environments
Managing director Stuart Jones was walking across his site when the piles of dust suddenly whipped up several feet into the air in front of him.
He managed to get his phone out and film the dust swirling around the yard like a mini tornado.
His one-minute video shows the 15ft high dust devil gathering pace as it moves around the site before it eventually fizzles out.
The phenomenon, which is known as a dust devil, is more common in desert or arid landscapes.

Volcanic activity on Campi Flegrei. The supervolcano has shown signs of unrest since the 1950s.
Volcanic activity on Campi Flegrei. The supervolcano has shown signs of unrest since the 1950s.
Campi Flegrei is a huge volcanic field that sits about 9 miles to the west of Naples, a city home to over a million people. It is made up of 24 craters and edifices, and appears as a large depression on the surface of the land.
The volcano last erupted in 1538 after almost a century of pressure building up. But though it lasted over a week, this was a comparably small one—40,000 years ago, it produced a "super-colossal" eruption. This is the second highest measure on the volcanic explosivity index, the first being "mega-colossal," like those seen at the Yellowstone supervolcano in the U.S. thousands of years ago.
