CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand — A magnitude-5.1 aftershock hammered New Zealand’s earthquake-hit city of Christchurch on Wednesday morning, freshly damaging buildings, sparking evacuations and prompting the extension of a state of emergency for another week.
The latest quake, 4 miles below the surface and centered 6 miles southeast of the city, was felt by residents as the strongest aftershock in Christchurch since Saturday’s 7.1-magnitude earthquake wrecked hundreds of buildings. Nobody was reported injured by the latest temblor.
