Two more minor earthquakes recorded overnight in Totana

Small earthquakes were recorded in the early hours, with two light tremors measuring 1.6 and 2.0 reported by Spain's National Geographic Institute

Two minor earthquakes were felt during the early hours of Wednesday May 13, in Totana, according to Spain's National Geographic Institute.

The first tremor was recorded at 12.47am, measuring 1.6 in magnitude. It was followed a few hours later by a slightly stronger earthquake at 3.06am, which reached a magnitude of 2.0. Its epicentre was located around two kilometres away, in the same general area.

Both earthquakes were classed as minor, and no damage or injuries have been reported. However, they were strong enough to be felt in parts of Totana, with some residents reporting that they were woken during the night.

The two earthquakes were likely connected and part of the same small burst of seismic activity in the same area, rather than two completely separate events.
