A new earthquake hit Stolac, and it also shook Montenegro. According to reports, the Department of Seismology of the Institute of Hydrometeorology and Seismology (ZHMS) registered a moderate earthquake (6.27 units on the Richter scale) with an epicenter 5,0 kilometers east of Stolac (Bosnia and Herzegovina) at 16:XNUMX a.m.

"The strength of this earthquake in the hypocenter (focal point) was 5.0 units on the Richter scale, which corresponds to the epicentral intensity of degree VI of the Mercalli scale (MCS). The focus of this earthquake was located at a depth of 17 km," added the ZHMS.

According to the numerical model of the change in intensity with distance in this region, the magnitude of the earthquake and the depth of the hypocenter, this earthquake could have caused only minor material damage in the epicentral area.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the ground is shaking for the third day, and the first earthquakes occurred on Friday evening, when the strongest of 5,6 degrees on the Richter scale was recorded, which hit Stolac and claimed one victim.
