A severe earthquake shook the south of the Caribbean state of Haiti.
The US agency USGS gave the strength as 7.2.
Authorities issued a tsunami warning on Saturday.
According to official information, the quake occurred around 12 kilometers from the municipality of Saint-Louis-du-Sud at a depth of around ten kilometers.
The authorities warned of dangerous tsunami waves up to three meters high.
Numerous houses are reported to have been destroyed by the quake.
The exact extent of the damage was initially unclear.
Haiti was nearly devastated by a severe earthquake in 2010.
At the center of the earthquake, which had a magnitude of 7.3, was Haiti's densely populated capital, Port-au-Prince.
Around 222,000 people died and more than 300,000 were injured as a result of the quake.
More than a million people lost their homes.
The damage from the quake was estimated at $ 8 billion.
Reconstruction got off to a slow start, also due to the political instability.
Haiti's President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in July.
He was ambushed and shot dead by a heavily armed commando at his residence.
