Another slightly less powerful earthquake hit Montenegro early Saturday morning, which was the second in the past three days, announced the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center (EMSC).

The earthquake was recorded at 06:11, and according to data from the European-Mediterranean Seismological Center, its epicenter was near a commune of Nikšić, the central city of Montenegro.

The tremor was also felt in Bosnia and Herzegovina. According to the EMSC, the earthquake measured 3.6 on the Richter scale.

The Seismology Department of the Institute for Hydrometeorology and Seismology of Montenegro stated that the earthquake’s epicenter was at a depth of 14 kilometers.

No damage or casualties were reported from this earthquake.

“Based on the numerical model of intensity change with distance in this region, the magnitude of the earthquake, and the depth of the hypocenter, this earthquake could not cause material damage in the epicentral area,” said the Seismology Department.

On Thursday, a stronger earthquake, measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale, struck Montenegro.

The tremor from that earthquake was also felt in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and Albania.

Almost exactly 45 years ago, on April 15, 1979, Montenegro was hit by a much stronger earthquake, measuring 7 on the Richter scale.

Its epicenter was in the Adriatic Sea, between Ulcinj and Tivat, about 15 kilometers from the coast.

At that time, 101 people were killed in Montenegro and 35 in Albania, while over 100,000 people were left homeless.
