Small earthquake hits part of Jeseniky Mts.

A small earthquake with a magnitude of 2.3 hit a part of the Jeseniky mountains late on Thursday. The quake was only registered by a few people and was short but relatively intense. Earthquakes are not uncommon in the Jeseniky mountains, but do not cross a magnitude of three; another minor quake was recorded in the same area on June 2, but was weaker, with a magnitude of 1.7. Another area with frequent earthquakes lies further north on the Moravian-Polish border, where earthquakes range from 2.2 to 3.3 in magnitude.
