A 2.4 magnitude earthquake hit the southeastern county of Chilgok, Saturday, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).
The KMA said the quake occurred at 1:31 p.m., 4 kilometers north of Chilgok in North Gyeongsang Province ― 280 km southeast of Seoul ― at a depth of 15 km.
The epicenter was at 36.03 degrees latitude north and 128.4 degrees longitude east, the agency said, noting that no damage was expected.
The maximum magnitude measured by regional observation equipment was 2 in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province, it added. Under such seismic intensity, only those in a quiet place or on the upper floors of a tall building would feel anything. (Yonhap)
