The Institute of Geophysics Reports: Aftershocks Persist as Seismic Activity Gradually Declines

Nasser Jabour, the Director of the National Institute of Geophysics, revealed that just over an hour ago, the country experienced a new noticeable earthquake with a magnitude of 4.5 on the Richter scale. He pointed out that aftershocks continue, with this being one of the stronger ones.

In a statement to Hespress, Jabour elaborated, stating that "the earthquake recorded this morning is distinct from the previous aftershocks, but overall, the sustained sequence of aftershocks is now showing signs of decreasing, indicating a gradual decline in seismic activity."

He further explained that "today's earthquake constitutes the second noticeable aftershock, following the one that occurred immediately after the initial earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 on the Richter scale." He emphasized that "dozens of aftershocks are being recorded, but the majority go unnoticed by the population, monitored instead by the National Institute of Geophysics."

Additionally, the Director of the National Institute of Geophysics conveyed that "these aftershocks may persist for several weeks, albeit in a continuous reduction," adding, "over 95 percent of them won't be felt by the residents, except on rare occasions."
