This just in:
A series of powerful earthquakes occurred in central Armenia on Friday.Times like these I worry about the nuclear power station, as well as all the poorly-constructed panel buildings that dot Armenia. I hope no one was injured.
The first tremor measuring between five and six points on the Richter scale was registered at about midday local time (11:00 Moscow time), an official at the National Seismic Protection Service told Itar-Tass. The earthquake epicenter was located 18 kilometers southwest of the regional center of Gavar (former city of Kamo), not far from Sevan Lake shore.
The earthquake with a magnitude of 3-4 points occurred in Yerevan and in some other Armenian cities and towns. Seismologists registered aftershocks at 12:55 p.m., 03:57 p.m. and 04:24 p.m. local time. Their epicenter was located 19 kilometers southwest of Gavar.
There were no immediate reports on casualties or damage.
