A magnitude ML 4.8 earthquake was recorded in Vrancea, Romania, on 19 October at 11:51:57 local time, the same as Bulgarian time. Romania’s INFP reports a depth of 124.1 km and a manually reviewed assessment for event 48323.
Checked at 13:17 Bulgarian time: an earlier NOVA report cited preliminary Bulgarian NIGGG-BAS figures of magnitude 5 and a depth of 15 km. The parameters differ; this report explicitly uses INFP’s manually reviewed figures.
We have no confirmed information on consequences in Veliko Tarnovo region. This does not establish that no damage occurred.
