CARACAS, June 20 (Reuters) - A 5.3 magnitude quake hit Venezuela on Wednesday but there were no immediate reports of damage in the OPEC nation, including to any of the state oil company's operations, officials said.

The quake, which also hit Colombia, should not produce any significant damage because of its size and depth, Herbert Rendon, a Venezuelan seismological official said by telephone.
