A magnitude 6.0 earthquake was recorded along the coast of Ecuador on Sunday, the same area where a deadly tremor left hundreds of casualties last year.
According to a report by Los Angeles Times, Ecuador President Lenin Moreno said there were no immediate reports of victims or major damage from the quake as of yet. The quake joggled many Ecuadoreans who were still in bed shortly after 6 a.m. (1100 GMT). The report also said that the quake was felt in 12 provinces across the country.
Ecuador has just gotten up from the ashes of the deadly earthquake last year that killed more than 600 people, injured thousands more, and left a number of homeless individuals.
The U.S. Geological Survey, as reported by the Associated press, said the quake with a depth of 15.5 miles (25 kilometers), was centered around the town of San Vicente.
