Central Vietnam records three earthquakes on Nov. 8 evening

The three earthquakes occurred 1t 18:01, 19:41 and 20:32 at a depth of 8.1km, according to the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning Centre under the Institute of Geophysics of Vietnam.

They all caused no disaster risk, said the centre, adding scientists are keeping a close watch on these earthquakes.

Kon Plong district has since 2021 recorded hundreds of earthquakes with magnitudes of 2.4 to 4.7. The biggest one, measuring 4.7 o the Richter scale, was captured on August 23, 2022.

Though these earthquakes cause no casualties, they make local residents feel anxious. The Prime Minister has requested relevant agencies to clarify the causes and propose appropriate response solutions.

Relevant agencies have set up additional monitoring stations in order to better understand and promptly warn of dangerous geological phenomena, if any.
