Another earthquake hits El Salvador

Another earthquake has hit El Salvador, forcing people panicked by two earlier quakes to flee into the streets.

The country's Seismological Service said quake had a magnitude of 4.5 and was centred in the area of the capital, San Salvador.

Because it was relatively shallow, the quake was felt more strongly than many other quakes of similar magnitude.

Officials said they had no reports of victims from the new tremour, which shook buildings. Thousands of aftershocks have hit the country since the magnitude 7.6 quake on January 13.
