A rare earthquake has been recorded off the coast of Florida, potentially triggered by military tests, as reported by the Daily Mail, citing data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
According to seismologists, the earthquake registered a magnitude of 3.9. The epicenter of the tremors was located at a depth of 0 km, indicating the source of activity was very close to the surface.
“The ground tremors recorded in this event are more characteristic of an explosion than of a naturally occurring earthquake,” a USGS representative said.
Journalists suggest that the incident may have been caused by an experimental detonation.
