A light earthquake measuring 2,5 on the Richter scale scared the citizens of Sofia at 10:18 am Tuesday, days after a relatively strong quake sent many out on the streets.

According to Geophysics Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, light aftershocks can be expected in the following days but there are no reasons for panic. More than 25 light tremors have been registered since the magnitude 4 earthquake Saturday evening, which was felt everywhere in the city.

Sofia is one the regions in Bulgaria most prone to earthquakes, scientists say.
