The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), says a magnitude 5.7 earthquake shook parts of Ethiopia on Saturday.
The quake occurred at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), which tends to lead to stronger surface shaking and potentially greater damage than deeper quakes.
Details remain limited as the German agency GFZ’s initial report did not include information on casualties or damage. The epicentre was pinpointed near latitude 13.77° N and longitude 39.91° E.
As of now, local and national authorities are assessing the situation on the ground.
