SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (Reuters) - A strong aftershock rocked El Salvador on Saturday, causing fresh damage in a nation still reeling from two major quakes, including one only days earlier that killed over 300 people.
Officials said there were no confirmed injuries in the 5.3-magnitude aftershock, which -- capable of causing considerable damage -- made some already-weakened walls collapse around the capital San Salvador.
"Only God knows if all this shaking will continue or not," Mauricio Ferrer, head of the National Emergency Committee, told reporters.

One door closed is one door opened
One more memory fades away
Such grand dreams we all have chosen
We lost our innocence along the way
