An earthquake occurred in the town of Albertville (Savoie) this Tuesday morning.
Felt by many residents, the earthquake caused a slight vibration accompanied by a characteristic noise, reports Le Dauphiné.
According to the Alpine Seismicity Observation Network (Sismalp), the earthquake was of magnitude 2.1.
Its epicenter was 3 km from Albertville and at a depth of 5 km.
It caused absolutely no damage.
Aftershocks since March
According to Sismalp experts, the earthquake was followed by a few tremors of magnitude 1.3 and 1.7, the last of which was recorded around 10:30 a.m.
These are aftershocks, a normal phenomenon following a “main” earthquake.
The epicenter of these aftershocks moved to the town of Mercury, which had already recorded a magnitude 4.2 earthquake on March 12.
This last earthquake had not caused any damage either.
