QUITO—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 struck at a depth of 14.29 miles, EMSC said, with Ecuadorean authorities ruling out issuing a tsunami warning.
