Thursday's earthquake in the Czech Republic, which was recorded at 6:00 p.m. by domestic and foreign seismic stations, was not caused by an earthquake, but by a routine blast at the Čertovy schody quarry near Beroun. The Geophysical Institute of the Academy of Sciences reported this. Initial reports from abroad spoke of a strong earthquake of magnitude 5.5 with an epicenter in the Rokycany region.
Czech geologists have explained why European seismological services reported the strongest earthquake in Czech history on Thursday evening - but without the ground shaking. The instruments incorrectly assessed the impact in the quarry.
Scientists in Germany reported a strong earthquake in the Czech Republic. It turned out to be a mistake, and the quake in the Rokycany region didn't even reach 2 on the Richter scale.
