Bulgaria: Two Light Earthquakes Detected around Bulgaria's Sofia Image by BGNES.

Two very light earthquakes were detected with epicenters some 30 km south-east of Bulgaria's capital Sofia Tuesday morning.

They were of magnitude 2.4 and 2.6, with the first not even felt and reported by people, but rather only detected by the Geophysical Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (which contains Bulgaria's seismology service).

The earthquakes occured around 7.50 EET. Of course, no damages have been reported.

Three minor earthquakes of magnitudes 2.5-3.5 were felt in Sofia August and September.
