Earthquake of magnitude 6.2 hits Panama - USGS


    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.2 rattled Panama on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

    The quake came a day after Chile was hit by an 8.2 magnitude quake that killed six people and set off a tsunami with 7-foot (2-meter) waves.

    The Panama quake was centred about 40 miles (64 km) south of David, Panama, at a depth of 6.2 miles (10 km).
