According to the USGS Geological Research Institute of the United States, there have been 139 earthquakes on the earth in the last 7 days, particularly from 740 hrs on the 7.6th to 3pm on the 8.6th day (Vietnam time) with 11 earthquakes recorded. Among them, notably 4.4-magnitude earthquake in southern Greece; 4.5 Richter in Laos; 5.1 Richter in Japanese Ryukyu island; 6.2 Richter scale in the Brismarck sea near New Guinea.

There have been no reports of damage and no tsunami warnings have been issued. However, the above figures and phenomena prove that the seabed is always seething. Not to mention the sea storms, thunderstorms, floods that continue to occur globally. Happily, Vietnam is located in a region with few earthquakes and large tsunamis, which is evaluated by meteorologists and geologists as a peaceful area.
