The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake occurred at a depth of eight miles (13 kilometers) around the southern coastal town of Guayanilla, located close to the epicenters of most of the recent earthquakes. “We felt it really hard,” town spokesman Danny Hernandez told The Associated Press, saying authorities were patrolling the area to investigate any potential damage.

Manchester stabbings suspect may have mental problems as UK terrorism probe ongoing
Greater Manchester Police were, however, continuing to investigate the attack because of suspected links to terrorism, they said in a statement. A witness, a BBC producer who was at the busy station full of New Year’s Eve revelers, said a man stabbed several people at the station, shouting “Allah” and linking his actions to “bombings in other countries.” The station is very close to Manchester Arena, where a suicide bomb attack in May 2017 killed 22 people as they left a concert by pop star Ariana Grande. The other, a male police officer in his 30s who sustained a stab wound to his shoulder, was released from hospital earlier.
