On the morning of Monday, June 22, a series of four underground tremors occurred in the Black Sea off the coast of the temporarily occupied Crimea. According to the classification of the Main Center for Special Control, all of them were felt by the public.
Experts recorded the first tremor at 5:09 a.m., 8 kilometers off the coast of Crimea. It had a magnitude of 3.7, and its epicenter was located at a depth of 24 kilometers. At 5:27 a.m., a second earthquake with a magnitude of 3.3 occurred; its epicenter was located 13 kilometers from the peninsula at a depth of 16 kilometers.
A third tremor was recorded at 6:14 a.m. with a magnitude of 3.8. Its epicenter was the closest to the coast—7 kilometers from Crimea at a depth of 25 kilometers. The fourth earthquake, with a magnitude of 3.6, occurred at 7:11 a.m., 13 kilometers from the Crimean coast at a depth of 19 kilometers. All four epicenters were located directly in the Black Sea.
