PARIS (AP) - An earthquake struck western Germany near the French border early Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, officials said.

The magnitude 4.9 quake, with an epicenter near the German town of Waldkirch, occurred about 2:52 a.m., France's national seismological center said.

French authorities said hundreds of people telephoned seeking information about the temblor, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

“Everything is OK over here,” Waldkirch police spokesman Andreas Weber said.
