(CNN) -- A 5.2-magnitude earthquake struck near Christchurch, New Zealand, on Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported, causing some damage and minor injuries.
The quake was centered five miles east-southeast of Christchurch at a depth of 6.8 miles, according to USGS.
"It was quite an exciting ride," Christchurch Police Acting Inspector Murray Hurst told CNN, adding that there was some damage caused by the quake and a few injuries that were not life-threatening.
"Other than the nerves, the impact appears to be minor," he said.
Monday's quake comes nearly four months after a 6.3-magnitude temblor struck the same area, killing more than 150 people.

We are getting earthquakes by the dozen these days. I hope the losses were minimum.

As someone living in the UK, I've never experienced an earthquake. Can anyone start to tell me what it's like?
