A 4.6 magnitude earthquake rumbled through parts of Quebec early Sunday morning.

Natural Resources Canada says the quake struck at 5:43 a.m, and was “lightly felt” in Drummondville, Trois-Rivières and Montreal.

It hit 26 kilometres northwest of Drummondville, 35 kilometres from Trois-Rivières and 91 kilometres from Montreal.

There were no immediate reports of damage.

The federal agency says the earthquake occurred at a depth of 18 kilometres.

The U.S. Geological Survey’s Earthquake Hazards Program places the epicenter in the region of Pierreville in the Centre-du-Québec region of the province.
