Shaking off a moderate quake was felt in most parts of Accra on late Wednesday evening.
According to the United States Geological Survey, the quake reached magnitude 4.0 which makes it one of the strongest earthquakes in Ghana in years. The epicenter was located in the western part of the city.
Due to the vulnerability of many buildings in the Accra area, earthquake-report.com does not exclude minor damage. Two minor aftershocks were felt by residents a few minutes after the mainshock.
Accra belongs to the most seismically active region in Western Africa. Multiple strong quakes (some above magnitude 6) have hit today’s capital in the past. Therefore more strong destructive earthquakes can be expected in the future.
