Granada.- <\/strong>The 112 emergency service of Andalusia has received more than 80 calls due to the 5-magnitude earthquake recorded early this Saturday in Alhend\u00edn (Granada), a tremor that has caused various material damages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the National Geographic Institute (IGN) initially estimated the earthquake’s intensity at 4.8 degrees, this agency, which reports to the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, has raised the magnitude of the tremor recorded at 1:04 a.m. this Saturday at a depth of 2 kilometers to 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the 112 emergency service of Andalusia, the earthquake has caused more than 80 calls, reports that have arrived from all the provinces of Andalusia except Huelva and Cadiz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the moment, the earthquake has caused landslides, falling facade elements and roofs<\/a>, as well as damage in different parts of the Granada metropolitan area such as Armilla, where material damage has been recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impact of the earthquake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The IGN is recording the different points from which the population has felt the effects of the earthquake thanks to reports from residents who have communicated the falling of objects, movement of furniture, or shaking of doors and windows from almost all the municipalities of Granada and its metropolitan area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This earthquake has also been felt in towns in the north of the province such as Hu\u00e9scar; in Almu\u00f1\u00e9car, Salobre\u00f1a and Motril, on the coast; in the west and in the Alpujarra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, they have also noticed the tremor in towns in Ja\u00e9n such as Alcal\u00e1 la Real, Linares or J\u00f3dar; in towns on the coast of Almer\u00eda such as the capital, Roquetas, El Ejido or Adra, and on the coast of M\u00e1laga, from Fuengirola or Torremolinos to V\u00e9lez, as well as C\u00f3rdoba capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the earthquake with its epicenter in Alhend\u00edn, a 2.6-magnitude earthquake was added six minutes later, with its epicenter at a depth of one kilometer in G\u00f3jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Friday, three other earthquakes were recorded in the same zone of the Granada metropolitan area, of lower magnitude but which also alerted the population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
