A moderate magnitude 3.9 earthquake jolted the region today, sending tremors through the town of Smolyan.
The quake, which occurred at 8:38 am local time (Europe/Sofia GMT +2), was centered approximately 34 kilometers (21 miles) away from Smolyan.
The earthquake's epicenter was situated at a shallow depth of 9 kilometers (5.6 miles), amplifying its impact and causing it to be felt more intensely by residents near the source.
The tremor's shallow depth heightened the perceived strength of the quake, making its effects more pronounced compared to a deeper earthquake of similar magnitude.
Reports indicate that the seismic event was felt by many individuals in the vicinity of the epicenter, prompting concerns about potential damage or disruption to the local area.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and assessing any possible consequences of the earthquake. (ILKHA)
