A magnitude-5.8 earthquake shuddered through Panama and Costa Rica on Wednesday. No major damage or injuries were immediately reported.

The quake was centered 385 kms (240 miles) west of Panama City, near the border with Costa Rica. It sent many residents running from their homes, but caused little damage, officials said.

It was the second moderate quake to hit the region in less than two months. A 6.3-magnitude quake shook the Costa Rica-Panama border on Dec. 25, killing two people, including an infant, and damaging hundreds of homes.
