South Korean media say an earthquake measuring magnitude 5.5 has hit off the southeastern parts of the country.
Yonhap news agency says the quake was detected about 6km north of the southeastern port city of Pohang.
Residents in the capital Seoul, more than 300 km away, say they’ve felt tremors and are reporting their buildings have been shaken.
South Korea has relatively little seismic activity, unlike neighbouring Japan.
