PANAMA CITY — An earthquake caused skyscrapers in Panama’s capital to sway Monday and led to the evacuation of some buildings. There were no immediate reports of injuries.

The U.S. Geological Survey gave a preliminary magnitude of 4.7 for the afternoon’s quake.

The shaking set off car alarms and local news media said the local subway system was halted.

The quake at 2:35 p.m. was centered 6 miles deep about 51 miles south-southeast of Panama City in the Gulf of Panama.
