Earthquake of 5.5 hits Central America
Earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.5 struck the regions of El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua without causing injuries or damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake occurred at a depth of 56.8 kilometers, with its epicenter in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Osulotán. Local authorities reported that there was no tsunami threat, and residents in the three countries felt the tremors. This phenomenon repeats due to the convergence of the Caribbean and Coco tectonic plates. This recent event comes two days after a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Colombia that resulted in 256 deaths. Additionally, two earthquakes in Venezuela in June caused over 6,000 fatalities, highlighting the ongoing seismic activity in the region.
