People ran screaming from buildings Monday as a mild tremor rattled a Haitian capital still traumatized by the deadly Jan. 12 earthquake.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the latest tremor.

Preliminary data from the U.S. Geological Survey show the magnitude-4.4 earthquake struck in the Caribbean Sea about 25 miles (40 kms) west of Port-au-Prince.

Even minor tremors cause panic in the Haitian capital nearly four months after a catastrophic 7.0 earthquake that the government says killed at 230,000 people.
