An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 on the Richter scale, registered last night in the region of Vrancea, Romania was felt in Northern Bulgaria.
“Quakes of such magnitude are not destructive and are usually felt over a wide area because they have a deep-focus epicenter,” Iliana Popova, seismologist at the National Institute of Geophysics commented for the Bulgarian National Radio. The quake was also felt in Moldova and Western Turkey. Vrancea is one of the most seismically active regions of Europe. In 1977 an earthquake with a magnitude of over 7 on the Richter scale took the lives of 1,500, among them dozens of Bulgarians in Svishtov.
