Tonight at around 22.37:4,7, an earthquake with a magnitude of XNUMX on the Richter scale was registered in Albania, which was also felt in Montenegro.
The Department for Seismology of the Institute for Hydrometeorology and Seismology announced that at 22.37:20 p.m. it registered a strong earthquake, with an epicenter XNUMX kilometers northeast of Tirana.
As they state, the strength of the earthquake in the hypocenter (focal point) was 4.7 on the Richter scale, which, they explain, corresponds to an epicentral intensity of VII-VIII degrees of the Mercalli scale (MCS).
They point out that according to preliminary processing data, the epicenter of the earthquake was located at a depth of seven 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 material damage in the epicentral area," the announcement reads.
