Buenos Aires was hit by an earthquake today as world leaders gathered in the city for the G20 summit.
The 3.8-magnitude tremor struck just over 20 miles south of the centre of the Argentine capital and was felt by some of the reporters covering the event.
The quake, small but unusual for the region, was measured at 10.27am local time (1.27pm GMT), at a depth of 15 miles, according to the country's seismologists.
Reports in Argentine media suggested the quake, although minor, was the most severe to hit the city since 1888.
Donald Trump and Theresa May are among the world leaders who have gathered for the summit although German Chancellor Angela Merkel is still on her way.

A White House correspondent who was with the press pack in Argentina said he had felt a rumble and seen chandeliers sway amid the tremor.
Voice of America reporter Steve Herman said on Twitter: 'I was sitting in the press filing center here in Buenos Aires and we heard this rumble and saw the chandeliers sway slightly.
'I assured him that as a veteran of many seismic events this was not an earthquake. [I was] wrong.'
The Red Cross in Argentina tweeted to say no-one had been reported injured in the quake on Friday.
According to La Nueva, the last tremor in that part of the country was a 5.5-magnitude earthquake in 1888.
A powerful earthquake further south in 2016 was so strong that there were reports of it being felt in Buenos Aires.
Seismologists said the tremor was felt for 31 miles around the epicentre in La Plata.
Trump arrived in Argentina last night as a trade war between the United States and China and the conflict over Ukraine threatened to overshadow the gathering.
British PM Theresa May and French President Emmanuel Macron have also travelled to Buenos Aires, for the first G20 summit in South America.
However German Chancellor Angela Merkel was delayed when her government plane malfunctioned and had to make an emergency landing last night.

She was in the air on board a commercial flight to Buenos Aires when the earthquake hit.
The killing of dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is also overshadowing the meeting.
Saudia Arabia has denied that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman played a role in Mr Khashoggi's killing.
But Human Rights Watch accuses him of responsibility and also of war crimes in Yemen, and on Wednesday, Argentine legal authorities took initial action to consider a request to prosecute him for alleged crimes against humanity.
The summit is to be the crown prince's first significant appearance overseas since the killing.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
