Today's magnitude 5.7 earthquake is a huge setback for the confidence of the city but it has been lucky to escape with no major damage, Mayor Lianne Dalziel says. Only minor injuries have been reported following the 1.13pm quake, which was 15km east of Christchurch, at a depth of 15km, Geonet reported. The quake struck just eight days short of the 22 February 2011 Christchurch magnitude 6.3 quake, which claimed the lives of 185 people.
