NEW DELHI: A low intensity earthquake shook the Indian capital New Delhi shortly before midnight Wednesday, a national monitoring agency said, waking residents but causing no apparent damage.

The time of the earthquake was put at 11:28 pm (1758 GMT). There were no reports of any damage or casualties.
