Registered an earthquake of magnitude 3 with epicenter in the Malaga town of Casares

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) has registered an earthquake of 3 degrees of magnitude on the Richter scale early this Monday with an epicenter in the Malaga town of Casares, for which there is no need to regret personal or material damage.

According to the IGN website, the earthquake occurred at 6:46 a.m. with an epicenter one kilometer deep and was felt by the population.

However, the Andalusian 112 Unified Emergency Service has not received notices nor has it any evidence of human or material damage caused by the earthquake.

Five hours earlier, at around 1:28 p.m., another earthquake of magnitude 1.9 on the Richter scale was recorded with its epicenter in the Cadiz town of Castellar de la Frontera.

In case of earthquakes, Emergencias 112 Andalucía recommends that once the earthquake is over, you proceed to evacuation. In the case of being inside a home or office, it is necessary to gather all the cohabitants and go out into the street, always using the stairs and with the use of the elevator prohibited. But first you must check that no one is hurt.
