A 4.6-magnitude earthquake hit 111 miles west of Bandon in the Pacific Ocean early Sunday morning.

The quake is the third in the last month in the same general area in the Blanco Fracture Zone off the southern Oregon coast reported by the U.S. Geological Survey.

A magnitude-3.1 quake hit in the area on April 20 and a magnitude-4.0 shook a similar spot on April 29.

A magnitude-3.8 earthquake struck closer into the shore, about 77 miles west of Coos Bay, on April 26.

Sunday's quake came at a depth of over 6 miles at 2:47 a.m.
