Bratislava, 26 February (TASR) - Seismologists recorded a total of 32 aftershocks following the earthquake that struck western Slovakia on Saturday (21 February), seismologists from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics, and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava and the Institute of Earth Sciences of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAV) reported at a press conference on Thursday, adding that the two largest aftershocks had a magnitude of 2.8. They also reported on the damage recorded after the earthquake, which mostly included cracks in buildings. "The two biggest aftershocks had a magnitude of 2.8. Each of these released approximately 180 times less energy than the earthquake, with its magnitude of 4.3," said Peter Moczo from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, noting that all the aftershocks put together released less energy in the form of seismic waves than the main quake. am/df
