A new minor earthquake struck the southwestern countryside of Aleppo in northern Syria early Sunday, there were no injuries recorded from the tremor that was felt throughout an area of several square kilometers.
Sunday morning around 8:51 local time, the Syrian National Seismic Center recorded a minor earthquake in the eastern outskirts of a small town called Abezmo, some 19 kilometers to the west of the city of Aleppo.
There were two reported recordings, the Syrian center recorded 3 degrees on the Richter Scale while an earthquake online system said it was only 2.8 degrees.
This latest earthquake occurred about 17 kilometers slightly to the northwest of a previous earthquake that struck the area in September last year, it's also part of several earthquakes intensified in numbers that are hitting West Asia.
In a previous report for Syria News, I quoted a study in the year 2000 by the director of the Syrian National Seismic Center at that time, the study was titled 'Syria Enters the Earthquake Era' and it says that such earthquakes happen in a span of 240-300 years and now it's due.
More in this report with an interactive map I made showing some of the last two years' earthquakes in Syria: Minor Earthquake of 2.8 Degrees Strikes Southwest of Aleppo City.
