The tremors were felt in parts of the region, but there are no reports of casualties or property damage at this time.
Shallow earthquakes like this one release energy closer to the Earth’s surface, causing stronger ground shaking than deeper earthquakes. However, due to its low magnitude, this tremor is unlikely to have caused significant damage.
