The centre said there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage and the earthquake is the latest in a series of tremors that have affected several Caribbean islands.

It said that the earthquake with a magnitude of 4.7 jolted the islands of Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica as well as the French island of Guadeloupe.

It followed a quake with a magnitude of 4.2 which rocked islands in the Eastern Caribbean.
