A 6,1 magnitude earthquake shook Haiti on Wednesday morning, eight days after a devastating 7,3 tremor caused thousand of dead and injured people and heavy damages.

 The quake occurred at 06:03 local time and had its epicentre 37, 3 miles southern from the capital with a depth of 6 miles, the US Geological Survey reported.

There is no report about victims or material damages so far, but the citizens panicked on the streets and the already-damaged building shuddered strongly.
