HAGATNA, Guam — A moderate earthquake has struck in waters off the island of Guam, but there are no reports of any damage or injury.

The U.S. Geological Survey says in a preliminary report that the magnitude-5.1 quake struck at 11:47 a.m. local time Monday at a depth of about 21 miles. It was centered about 100 miles southwest of Hagatna and 230 miles southwest of Saipan.

A dispatcher from the Guam Police Department says there have been no reports of injuries or damages on the island.
