Four quakes hit the mountainous districts of Quang NamVietNamNet Bridge – Four earthquakes, measuring from 2.7 to 3.5 on the Richter scale, hit Bac Tra My and Nam Tra My districts in the central province of Quang Nam on Thursday morning (July 26), but no damage or casualties were reported. Four quakes hit the two districts of Nam Tra My and Bac Tra My on July 26. Experts from the institute said that the tremors occurring in mountainous districts of Quang Nam Province, near the hydro-power plant, were caused by water stored in the hydropower plant reservoir. The two districts, south of Tam Ky City in Quang Nam Province, have been hit by five quakes ranging from 3.2 to 3.9 on the Richter scale between March of 2017 and June of 2018.
