A 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit the Indian Ocean off Sri Lanka's east coast this morning, shaking buildings in the capital Colombo, but causing no damage to the island nation, a government official said.

The epicenter of the earthquake was in the Bay of Bengal, about 510 kilometers east of Colombo, said Ramya Siriwansa, a senior official at the National Disaster Management Centre.

"There is no threat of tsunami due to this earthquake," he said.
