Spain Earthquake: A powerful earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale struck southern Spain early Monday, just hours after the region was battered by flash floods and heavy rains.
A report by the Independent said the roof of an airport in Almeria in the southeast region of Spain in the affected zone partially collapsed amid the tremors. So far, no casualties have been reported. Emergency services are assessing damage in the region.
Spain’s Geographic Institute said the quake hit off Cabo de Gata on the Almeria coast at 7.13 am local time. The tremors were felt in tourist hotspots like Costa del Sol and Alicante.
At its peak, the quake reached a moderate to strong intensity rated IV-V on the European Macroseismic Scale, the Independent report said.
