Speaking with Dantri/DTiNews, Dr Nguyen Xuan Anh, head of Institute of Geophysics, reported that the phenomenon in Hanoi this morning was caused by a 5.4-magnitude earthquake in the northern mountainous province of Cao Bang’s Trung Khanh District at the depth of 14 kilometres at 8:18 am this morning.
According to Nguyen Van Dong, a resident in Cao Bang City, he noticed two shakes this morning clearly at this office on the third floor. He even thought that it was an explosion nearby.
Dr Nguyen Hong Phuong, Deputy Director of the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning Centre, said the cause of the Cao Bang earthquake is under investigation. He advised people to keep calm as the shakes remained light.
On November 21, many people at apartments in Hanoi experienced light shakes, which is said to be impacted by a 6.1-magnitude earthquake in Laos.
