An earthquake has struck off the British Columbia coast, less than four days after major population centres were shaken by a similar-sized tremor.

But Earthquakes Canada says the latest quake wasn't felt by anyone and it occurred in the Pacific, 182 kilometres west of Port Alice in northwest Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Island.

It says the quake with a preliminary magnitude of 5 took place at 9:37 p.m. Monday at a depth of 10 kilometres.

Earthquakes Canada says there's no risk of a tsunami and there have been no reports of damage from the quake, which Emergency Info BC initially said had a magnitude of 5.2.

On Friday, a 4.7-magnitude earthquake hit the southwest coast near Sechelt.

Tremors were felt on the Sunshine Coast, Metro Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­and Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­Island.

Though several smaller aftershocks came from Friday's quake, there were no reports of damage.
