       The disaster had a reported depth of 10 kilometers, and a 5.6 magnitude.

       It is unclear if the shake did any damage, or if anyone was injured.

       In August of 2021, Haiti experienced a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people.

       At least 5,700 people were injured in the Caribbean nation, with thousands more displaced from their destroyed or damaged homes.

       The earthquake struck the southwestern part of the hemisphere’s poorest nation, almost razing some towns and triggering landslides that hampered rescue efforts in a country already struggling with the coronavirus pandemic, a presidential assassination, and a wave of gang violence.

       Haiti’s government put the death toll at more than 300,000, while a report commissioned by the US government placed it between 46,000 and 85,000.
