This afternoon, at 16:04, an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.7 on the Richter scale and an epicenter 6 km south of Klos was recorded.
The tremors of today's earthquake coincide with those of two years ago after on September 21, 2019, Albania was hit by a magnitude 5.8 earthquake. At that time, dozens of citizens were injured and there was material damage in the area of ??central Albania.
In a direct link to News24, seismologist Rrapo Ormeni said that the Klos area is an area known for earthquakes of this magnitude that do not cause damage. He considered the date and time the same as the earthquake 2 years ago to be a coincidence.
"The area where the earthquake occurred is known for earthquakes of this magnitude. On the whole in this area fall small earthquakes that do not cause damage. It has nothing to do with the earthquake two years ago whose epicenter was in Durrës. They have no relation despite coincidence in date and time. "Only earthquakes of this magnitude fall in Klos," said the seismologist.
News24 informed that the municipality of Dibra has set up the emergency headquarters for the possible damages that the earthquake may have caused.
