An earthquake of magnitude 4.8 occurred in Colombia on Sunday morning, according to European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC).
The depth of the earthquake was 4 km (2.49 miles), EMSC said.
Earlier today, a quake of magnitude 4.3 struck Kabul, Afghanistan on Sunday, the National Center for Seismology (NCS) informed.
The seismic tremor happened at 8:14 am today, the NCS said. It was determined that the earthquake was 60 kilometers deep.
“Earthquake of Magnitude:4.3, Occurred on 14-05-2023, 08:14:29 IST, Lat: 33.34 & Long: 69.94, Depth: 60 Km, Location: 151 km SSE of Kabul, Afghanistan,” the NCS tweeted.
Earlier, in anticipation of a volcanic eruption, authorities in Colombia issued a recommendation to evacuate the towns closest to a rumbling, well-known volcano.
Communities within 15 kilometers (nine miles) of the main crater of three that make up the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in the Colombian Andes, according to the Disaster Risk Management Office, are being moved to evacuate.
The volcano, which erupted in 1985 and killed 25,000 people, has seen an increase in seismic activity.
That explosion was one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century and the worst natural disaster in Colombian history.
There has as of late been a "significant increase in seismic activity," the service of mines said in an explanation while Colombia's SGC land administration cautioned of a "probable eruption within days or weeks".
One of the many volcanoes along the Ring of Fire, a path around the Pacific basin marked by active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes, is the 5,300-meter (17,400-foot) colossus in western Colombia.
