A volcano has erupted after months of increased seismic activity in Ethiopia. This eruption was accompanied by a 5.5 magnitude earthquake, report the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Center (CSEM) and local media.
The magnitude 5.5 quake struck about ten kilometers deep at 8:01 p.m. local time, 55 kilometers northwest of the town of Asbe Teferi, near the border between the Afar and of Oromia, specifies the CSEM. No injuries have yet been reported.
Significant damage to nature
These two successive events gave rise to impressive images worthy of disaster films. The damage to the flora is considerable. In particular, we can see the ground truly broken in two.
In these other images, we can see significant releases of gas, rocks and mud after the volcanic eruption.
