Английская Википедия:2014 Murmuri earthquake
The 2014 Murmuri earthquake occurred on August 18 in the Zagros Mountains of Iran with a moment magnitude of 6.2 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe). The thrust earthquake injured 60–330 people and was followed by a number of high intensity aftershocks.
Earthquake
The area had not seen a large seismic event since developments in Earth observation satellites allowed scientists to more precisely study earthquakes.[1] Observations made using Interferometric synthetic aperture radar imply that different faults were ruptured by the mainshock and the largest aftershock, each leading to different surface deformations.[1]
Damage
Phone lines, water, and electricity were cut off.[2] Eight villages were hit particularly hard, each losing around half of the homes in the area.[2]
Aftershocks
In the several days following the mainshock, four strong aftershocks occurred. Within the first twenty-four hours, events with magnitudes of 5.6 Шаблон:M and 5.4 Шаблон:M occurred, each having a Mercalli intensity of VII (Very strong). Just over six hours later, a 6.0 Шаблон:M and intensity VIII (Severe) shock occurred. Several days later, a 5.6 Шаблон:M (intensity VII) shock occurred.[3][4][5][6]
