7.0 magnitude quake off Central America coast triggers tsunami alert.

 A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck off the Pacific coast of Central America. It came on the heels of the powerful Hurricane Otto, and was felt in several countries across the region, triggering a brief tsunami warning.

Earlier the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning.

"Hazardous" tsumani waves were possible within 300km of the quake epicenter along the coasts of Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras, the Center specified.

Nicaragua and El Salvador issued their own tsunami warnings in the wake of the earthquake.
