Light quack rattles central Yemen
DHAMAR, May 19 (Saba) - a moderate earthquake rattled central Yemen
on Monday and there were no reports of damage or injuries.
The 3.1 magnitude tremor occurred at 9:11 pm and centered 5 km below
the ground in the western part of Dhamar province, the National
Seismological Observatory Center (NSOC) said.
Earthquakes are common in some parts of Yemen, with the province of
Dhamar accounting for most quivers.
In 1982, a powerful quake shook the city killing and injuring
thousands of people.
It was the deadliest quake in the history of the province. Since
then quivers hit it sporadically, with seismologists warning strong
earthquakes may occur in the future.
