The city of Kashmar in northeastern Iranian province of Khorasan Razavi was jolted for the third time in a 4.0 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale on Friday morning, following a tremor earlier in the day and another the previous day.
According to Kashmar’s Governor Hojjatollah Shariatmadari, the first quake on Friday struck at 5:13 a.m. with a magnitude of 3.1 and a depth of 10 kilometers and the second, more powerful earthquake, measured 4.0 in magnitude and struck at 9:01 a.m. at a depth of 9 kilometers. Another earthquake of 4.3 magnitude shook the city on Thursday.
Shariatmadari reported that all emergency response teams are on full alert.
Assessors have been dispatched to check the potential damage, although no casualties have been reported so far.
Shariatmadari urged residents to exercise caution during earthquakes, advising them to protect themselves and their families and avoid standing in hazardous areas.
The tremors were also felt in surrounding areas, and residents of unsafe and damaged homes were advised to take extra precautions due to potential aftershocks from Thursday’s earthquake that left 11 injured.
