PORT-AU-PRINCE — An earthquake that struck off the northern coast of Haiti late Saturday killed at least 11 people and injured more than a hundred when several buildings collapsed, officials said.

The magnitude-5.9 quake was centered about 12 miles west-northwest of the coastal town of Port-de-Paix, at a depth of about 7¼ miles, the United States Geological Survey said.

The police chief for the northwest region, Jackson Hilaire, said at least seven people were killed and more than 100 injured in Port-de-Paix.
