SPAIN / By Cruz Ramiro

An earthquake of magnitude 3.5 was felt in Melilla on Tuesday afternoon, the second to occur in just twenty hours in the autonomous city, after the one that occurred shortly before eleven o'clock on Monday night with a magnitude 3.6.

According to information provided by the National Geographic Institute (IGN), this new earthquake occurred at 7:12 p.m. and, like the previous one, had the Moroccan town of Annual as its epicenter, at a depth of 13 kilometers..

The earthquake of this Monday could be felt with intensity III, in addition to Melilla, in the Peñón Vélez de la Gomera, one of the islets of Spanish sovereignty in North Africa, although in the case of this new tremor it does not specify the places where it could have been felt by the population.

The IGN has registered another three aftershocks throughout this day, but with a magnitude of less than three that have not been perceived by the population.
