A magnitude 5 earthquake struck the southern Spanish city of Granada, causing damage to some buildings and vehicles but no reported injuries.
The earthquake hit the metropolitan area of Alhendin shortly after 1 a.m. local time. The tremor was felt across the Granada area, where emergency teams responded to reports of damage to homes and other structures.
Spanish television channel TVE showed debris scattered across streets and several cars that had been damaged. Andalusian emergency services also rescued a number of people from buildings affected by the earthquake.
Authorities said there were no reports of casualties following the tremor. Antonio Sanz, Andalusia's top emergencies official, said there was no serious structural or material damage in the region.
The Alhambra palace, a major tourist attraction and an important example of Andalusian Islamic architecture, was also unaffected. Authorities confirmed that inspections found no damage to the historic complex.
The absence of injuries and serious structural damage has limited the immediate impact of the earthquake, although emergency teams continued to assess affected buildings and areas after the tremor. Granada is a seismically active area, and authorities regularly monitor earthquake activity in the region.
