HILO, Hawaii (AP) - A magnitude-5.0 earthquake has struck the island of Oahu in Hawaii.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake struck near Kae'na Point in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park at 4:36 p.m. Sunday, at a depth of five miles.

It was immediately followed by several aftershocks, the largest of them a magnitude-3.0 about 10 minutes after the original quake.

There were no immediate reports of damages or injuries.
