Were there any tsunami warnings issued in El Salvador?

Question

Accepted Answer

No tsunami warnings were issued in El Salvador following the earthquake.

Authorities in El Salvador, a neighboring country where the earthquake was felt, did not issue a tsunami warning. This statement comes in the absence of any immediate reports of damage from the seismic event.
Earthquake Felt in El Salvador

The earthquake, with a magnitude of 5.8 as reported by the US Geological Survey (USGS), was perceptible in El Salvador. The epicenter was located near Guatemala's southern coast, approximately 11km from Masagua.
Lack of Tsunami Alert

Despite the tremors being felt across borders, official channels in El Salvador remained silent on the possibility of a tsunami. This indicates that the seismic activity was not assessed as posing a threat of such a natural disaster.
No Immediate Damage Reports

Guatemala's disaster agency, CONRED, did not immediately report any damage resulting from the earthquake. Similarly, no information regarding damage in El Salvador has been immediately forthcoming, suggesting the event, while felt, did not cause significant destruction in either nation.
