Spain’s National Institute of Geography recorded a 5.0 earthquake near La Palma island on Saturday, with the moderate quake felt by island villages between 7 and 25 km from the epicenter. The temblor is thought to not have caused new damage on top of that already inflicted on the disaster-hit territory, APA reports quoting Sputnik.

The quake was caught live on-air by a correspondent from Spain’s 24 Horas news channel, who briefly screamed in terror as the ground shook beneath her.
