A new 5.8-magnitude quake struck Haiti, becoming the strongest aftershock in wake of Saturday’s 7.2-magnitude eathquake that wrought havoc in the island nation’s southern peninsula, killing at least 304 people.
The new tremor hit some 31 km (19 mi) north of the city of Jérémie in Haiti’s westernmost Grand’Anse department on Sunday morning, the United States Geological Survey reported.
The USGS put the quake’s depth at 12km.
