Granada hit by 5.0 quake, emergency plan activated
The Granada region in southern Spain was struck by a 5-magnitude earthquake early Saturday morning, causing material damage in several areas but no injuries. The Spanish National Geographic Institute recorded around 40 aftershocks following the main quake, which occurred at 1:04 AM with its epicenter in the Andéven area. Local authorities responded by activating the first phase of the emergency plan, urging residents to remain calm and avoid unsafe buildings, especially facades and upper sections, out of fear of falling unsecured elements. The threat persisted as damage assessments continued amidst ongoing tremors, which were felt over a wide area of the region, including coastal cities and inland towns, but only minor material damage was reported.
