85 Aftershocks Recorded by Ovsicori Following Strong Earthquakes in Coronado

The University of Costa Rica's Volcanological and Seismological Observatory (Ovsicori) has recorded 85 aftershocks following a series of significant earthquakes that struck Coronado early Monday morning. The initial seismic events registered magnitudes of 5.0 and 4.5, causing concern in the region.

Seismologists have been monitoring the seismic sequence closely since the main tremors occurred. The aftershocks indicate that the earth's crust is adjusting following the release of energy from the larger quakes. While aftershocks typically decrease in intensity over time, they can still cause damage, especially to structures already weakened by the initial earthquakes.

Ovsicori's updated count reflects the ongoing seismic activity in the area. Residents are advised to remain aware of their surroundings and to follow safety protocols in case of further significant tremors. The observatory continues to provide updates on the seismic situation to inform the public and relevant authorities.
