Seismic activity returns to Ahuachapan in El Salvador

San Salvador, Sep 7 (Prensa atina) After ceasing for some hours, tremors returned to the Salvadoran Ahuachapan locality, where just today 25 earthquakes have been reported, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) informed.

Turin and Atiquizaya, part of that demarcation bordering Guatemala, were also affected.

MARN indicated that from 7:18 to 10:30 in Thursday morning the tremors occurred, four of which were perceived by the population.

Experts say this activity is due to the activation of geological faults in the area that in recent months was hit by several seismic swarms.

The tremors had magnitudes from 2.6 to 3.5, the last one at 8:52 a.m. this Thursday morning.
