CrimeaPRESS reports:

In Krasnodar region On Monday evening, two earthquakes of magnitude 3.2 and 3.3 were recorded. In Crimea, one should not expect an increase in seismic activity after underground excavations in Sochi. About this in the comments RIA Novosti Crimea said the director of the Institute of Earthquake Forecast Theory and Mathematical Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Petr Shebalin.

For Crimea, this is not fraught with anything, absolutely. It’s far away. Even if we assume that, God forbid, an event of magnitude 7 occurs in Sochi, which is generally extremely unlikely, then in Crimea you will feel it only in the form of weak vibrationshe said.

Previously, head of the department of building structures at the Institute of Construction and Architecture of the Crimean Federal University named after. Vernadsky Stanislav Rodin told RIA Novosti Crimea that up to 150 weak tremors are recorded on the peninsula per year, and highest risks concentrated on the coast from Balaklava to Kerch. Steppe Crimea and Simferopol are much less seismically dangerous, but tremors of up to 6 points are also possible here.
