Wednesday, February 24, 2010; 11:03 PM
MANAGUA (Reuters) - A strong 5.9 magnitude earthquake struck off Nicaragua's western coast on Wednesday night, the U.S. Geological Survey said, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Nicaraguan media said the quake, which struck near the border with Costa Rica, was felt in communities along the Pacific coast.
The temblor was centered 37 miles southwest of Rivas, under the ocean at a depth of 26.5 miles. The USGS initially reported the quake had a 5.8 magnitude.
