According to the Geodynamic Institute, the epicenter of the earthquake is located 10 kilometers southwest of Andravida, while the focal depth is estimated at 23.4 kilometers
New 4.7 magnitude earthquake southwest of Andravida occurred on Sunday at 5.41 pm.
According to revised solution of the Geodynamic Institute, the epicenter of the earthquake is located 10 kilometers southwest of Andravida, while the focal depth is calculated at 23.4 kilometers.
