Earthquake measuring magnitude 4,9 hits eastern Hama countryside

A 4,9 magnitude quake hit east of the central Syrian province of Hama on Friday, days after a bigger one jolted the region, resulting in injuries and panic among the people.

The National Earthquake Center reported that the earthquake was recorded 23 km west of the city of Salamyieh, located in the eastern countryside of Hama province, at 13:15 p.m.

The seismic monitoring stations at the center recorded a total of nine tremors from Thursday until 8 a.m. on Friday in Hama, Lattakia, Homs, Aleppo, and Tartous provinces.

Director of Salamiyah National Hospital, Osama Malham, said that 17 people were injured and experienced panic as a result of the earthquake.

All of these quakes were classified as mild to moderate, which the center expects will persist, albeit less frequently, in the near future.

Last Monday night, a 5,5-magnitude earthquake struck east of Hama city, injuring around 65 people.
