LOS ANGELES — A small but widely felt aftershock jolted the Los Angeles region Tuesday, two days after a magnitude-4.7 earthquake struck. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The magnitude-4.1 temblor hit at 3:49 p.m. Pacific time and was centered 10 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles near Los Angeles International Airport, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Scientists said the latest rattle was a typical aftershock.
No damage was reported and there was no increase in emergency calls, city fire spokesman Brian Humphrey said.
The aftershock occurred near the epicenter of Sunday’s quake, which caused strong shaking in the beach towns south of the airport. Only light damage was reported.
Tuesday’s quake was felt in the high-desert city of Palmdale about 50 miles to the north and in San Diego, about 120 miles to the south.
