Small tremor hits Windhoek

A tremor of magnitude 2.3 struck approximately 10 kilometres southwest of Windhoek at about 02:45 today.
Confirming the tremor, the Ministry of Mines and Energy said the tremor was recorded at two seismic stations namely Ariamsvlei and Windhoek. According to the ministry, it requires a minimum of three stations to locate the event and its magnitude accurately and unfortunately the location and magnitude was not accurate enough due to insufficient data.
From the data analysed, it is confirmed that the tremor occurred and it was recorded by two stations only. The tremor was at a depth of 15 kilometres and the magnitude read 2.3 on the Richter scale.
