ARCHIVED - Fourth and fifth earthquakes in Region of Murcia this week
Fortuna, Murcia, registered a second and third earthquake on Wednesday
The municipality of Fortuna, which recorded a 3.5-magnitude earthquake on Tuesday October 12, was rocked by two more seismic tremors this Wednesday, with only around 48 hours between the three earthquakes.
Wednesday’s first earthquake took place at 4.54pm at a depth of 1km and, although no damages have been reported, residents in both Fortuna and the neighbouring municipality of Santomera were able to feel the 2.4-magnitude tremor. The second earthquake, at 11.13pm, was similar in magnitude (2.3) and was also registered at a depth of approximately 1km.
Two other minor earthquakes were recorded in the Region on Sunday October 10, making the total five earthquakes in four days, and the recent increase in seismic activity in Murcia coincides with the almost constant earthquakes in La Palma, where the Cumbre Vieja volcano has been active for around three weeks.
