A magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck near the coast of Ecuador on Friday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said, injuring at least 20 people, damaging buildings in the city of Esmeraldas and temporarily shutting down some oil infrastructure.

The quake damaged homes and public buildings, and caused widespread power cuts.

Last week, Ecuador commemorated the victims of the 2016 earthquake that measured 7.8 on the Richter scale. On Friday, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake struck the Esmeraldas province in northwestern Ecuador, injuring over 30 people and destroying 179 homes, according to the latest report released by authorities.
