Quakes in Nicaragua Damage Homes, One Dead
A series of small quakes jolted central Nicaragua on Sunday, damaging homes near the epicenter and killing a woman in Ticuantepe. Ranging from 3.4 to 4 magnitude, the temblors rattled Managua, with smaller shocks reported. Firefighters evacuated residents as seismology officials linked the quakes to volcanic activity moving along local faults near the Masaya volcano, with no eruption threat seen.
