Most tremors recorded were minor and caused no reported damage or injuries.

If indoors during a tremor, take cover under a sturdy table and away from windows. Visitors planning excursions to archaeological sites or mountain areas should check with local tour operators for any temporary closures. No travel disruptions have been reported at this time.
