Ecuadoreans clear debris from buildings following a 6.3 earthquake

A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck near the coast of Ecuador on Friday, April 25, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said, injuring at least 20 people, damaging buildings in the city of Esmeraldas and temporarily shutting down some oil infrastructure.

The quake struck at a depth of 23 kilometers (14.29 miles), EMSC said, with Ecuadorean authorities ruling out issuing a tsunami warning.

The government said in a report that 20 people were injured and around 135 families were affected by the earthquake. Several public buildings and private homes were damaged, and some areas also experienced power outages.
