Two small earthquakes hit South Korea on Wednesday, the state weather agency said.

The Korea Meteorological Administration said the earthquakes were so small that they could hardly be felt.

The first, a magnitude-2.4, occurred about 2:11 a.m. 42 kilometers off the coast of the southeastern city of Ulsan.

The following magnitude-2.1 quake happened at 12:10 p.m. in the central city of Nonsan, the weather agency said.

"There were no reports that they were felt," a KMA official said. “No major damage or casualties have been reported.”
