The Department of Seismology at the Institute of Hydrometeorology and Seismology apologized for the delay in the information about the earthquake that shook Montenegro a little after 23 p.m. and the problems on the website, which, they say, were caused by problems in the Telekom internet service.
Last night at 23.07, the seismology sector registered a stronger earthquake, with an epicenter 19 kilometers east of Stolac, in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The strength of the earthquake in the hypocenter (focal point) was 5.5 units on the Richter scale, which corresponds to the epicentral intensity of degree VII of the Mercalli scale (MCS).
According to preliminary processing data, the epicenter of the earthquake was located at a depth of 15 kilometers.
"Based on the theoretical model of the macroseismic field of this region, the magnitude of the earthquake and the depth of the hypocenter, this earthquake could have caused some material damage in the epicentral area. The map shows the position of the epicenter of this earthquake with isoseisms (zones of the same intensity) for the case of solid rock in the foundation" , the announcement states.
