Damascus, Feb 15 (Prensa Latina) The Syrian National Earthquake Center reported 42 quakes in less than 24 hours in the northwestern area of this Arab nation.

Through a statement, the aforementioned entity clarified that most of the registered earthquakes are of a magnitude of two to three degrees on the Richter scale, while two were of 4.0 and 4.3 degrees.

All of these aftershocks are mild with no potential effects, and nothing to worry about, the Center said.

He added that his staff gives constant follow-up to monitor and analyze seismic events and carry out the necessary studies in this regard.

On the other hand, he revealed that work teams were created to detect the effects of earthquakes on buildings and facilities in the provinces of Aleppo and Latakia, to help as much as possible in the preparation of reports and studies necessary to address this issue.

In the early hours of Monday, February 6, two earthquakes with values over 7.0 degrees struck Turkiye and Syria, leaving tens of thousands dead and injured and extensive devastation.

More than 200 aftershocks have been reported in the area, and scientists say this process could take not just days, but months or even years.
