Small Quake Strikes Off the Coast of Pohang

Fortunately this was just another small quake because I would hate to see what would happen if a massive quake ever hit the Korean peninsula:

A four-point-one magnitude earthquake struck off the southeastern city of Pohang on Sunday.

The Korea Meteorological Administration said that the quake took place at 12:53 p.m. in waters 50 kilometers east-northeast of the port city at a depth of 21 kilometers.

The KMA had earlier announced the quake’s magnitude was four but later revised it.

A KMA official said that it is a quake-prone region, but the magnitude is larger than usual, adding there have been no reports of damage received so far as the location is about 50 kilometers off the coast.
