The quake forced many hundreds of people to leave their homes as damaged walls crumbles and floors were reported as cracked in some buildings.
No immediate reports of casualties were recorded in the early stages.
USGS says aftershocks will happen hours, days, or weeks after the main quake, which can cause building damage and falling debris.
