Tremors shake Sofia at start of NATO meeting
SOFIA, April 27 (Reuters) - A mild earthquake measuring 3.7 rattled
Bulgaria's capital on Thursday as foreign ministers from NATO member
states began a meeting in the Balkan country, witnesses said.
Its epicentre was in the southeast of the Bulgarian capital, Sofia, or
in one of its suburbs, Emil Botev, an expert at the geophysical
institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Science, said.
"We suppose the tremor was a regular one, characteristic for this
region. There are no reasons for concern," he told Reuters.
The quake shook furniture and rattled windows, witnesses across Sofia
said, but no damage or injuries were immediately reported.
