There were no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage from the strong quake that occurred at 22:32 GMT (7:32 p.m. EDT), but electricity and telephone service was interrupted in some areas. Three aftershocks were registered in the area shortly thereafter. The seismological service initially reported the initial quake's magnitude as 6.6, but later downgraded it to 6.4.
