6.2-magnitude quake hits Spain, no reported damage


MADRID — The US Geological Survey says a 6.2-magnitude earthquake has hit southern Spain, but a Spanish official says there are no reports of injuries or damage. The agency says that the quake's epicenter was 616 kilometers (385 miles) underground, near the city of Granada. It hit a few minutes after midnight Monday. An official with the Spanish Interior Ministry office in Granada told AP there are no reports of damage or injuries. The official said the quake was so deep that most people did not even feel it. Spain's National Geographic Institute put the magnitude lower, at 4.8. — AP
