Size 5.2 Earthquake attacks Nordiran


After the European Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC), an earthquake of the strength 5.2 hit the Northern Iran on Sunday. The quake occurred at a low depth of only 3 kilometers (1.86 miles), which caused concerns about the potential effects on the surface level. No immediate reports on damage or losses were available.

In June, an earthquake met in the Semnan region of the Northern Iran in the Semnan region in the north of the city 27 kilometers southwest of the city. The quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometers.

The proximity of the epicentrum to the Semnan Space Center and in the Semnan rocket complex, both operated by the Iranian military, asked questions about whether the quake could have been caused by a secret nuclear test.

The incident developed in increased regional tensions because Iran and Israel were involved in the military exchanges. Iran continuously said that he would not negotiate his nuclear program, while the European nations continued to urge de -escalation and renewed diplomacy.

Iran, which is located along the alpine seismic belt, where the Arab and Eurasian tectonic plates are hit, is one of the world -prone countries in the world.

Iran experiences frequent seismic activities that have around 2,100 earthquakes annually. Of these, almost 15 to 16 quakes reach a size of 5.0 or higher. Between 2006 and 2015 alone, the country recorded astonishing 96,000 earthquakes and emphasized its position as one of the most active regions in the world.
