QUITO, Sha'ban 11, 1437, May 18, 2016, SPA -- A magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck Ecuador's coast early on Wednesday, Reuters reported. There was no immediate report of damage from the quake, which cut electricity in some coastal areas and sent people running into the streets as far away as the highland capital Quito, witnesses said. "The epicenter was Mompiche. There are no damages reported. There is no tsunami warning," President Rafael Correa tweeted. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center also said no Pacific-wide tsunami was expected from the quake, whose depth the U.S. Geographical Survey put at 10 km (6 miles). --SPA 12:43 LOCAL TIME 09:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
