Moderate earthquake jolts Albania

TIRANA, Nov 18 – A tremor measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale shook Albania on Wednesday morning causing no damage or injuries.
The epicenter of the earthquake was triangulated at just 13 kilometers east of capital Tirana.
The Albanian seismological institute said the jolt was followed by several smaller aftershocks in quick succession and was felt in other regions.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reports that the quake of a 4.0 magnitude on the Richter scale was registered at 4.17am, at a depth of two kilometers, with its epicenter 13 kilometers from the city.
Only two months ago Eastern Albania was hit by a 5.4 magnitude earthquake with the epicenter in the eastern Dibra region, close to the FYROM border, which caused roughly one million euro worth of damages.
Earthquakes up to a 5.0 magnitude on the Richter scale are considered light and often cause only minor structural damage.
