El Salvador was rocked by a strong earthquake measuring 6.11 on the Richter scale on Thursday, as reported by the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
The earthquake occurred at a depth of 127 kilometers (approximately 79 miles) beneath the Earth’s surface. The precise epicenter of the quake has not yet been disclosed, but the significant depth indicates a tectonic event with the potential for widespread impact.
Residents across the region reported feeling the tremors, although there are no immediate reports of damage or casualties. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and assessing the areas potentially affected by the seismic activity.
Earthquakes are not uncommon in El Salvador due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a seismically active region known for frequent tremors and volcanic activity.
Local emergency services have advised residents to remain cautious and follow safety protocols in the event of aftershocks. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
